Sierra del Tontal Private Trip

At 10 am, we will pick you up at your hotel in Barreal. We will depart in an all-terrain jeep to the Calingasta Valley, home of the Sierra del Tontal, known as the foothills of San Juan.

We will follow the tracks of drivers of the Dakar Rally, which occurred in South America from 2009 to 2019. This includes passing through key stages of the race. Next, we will proceed to an area of the mountain range with communication antennas at over 13,000 feet.

During the trip, we will explore the puna grasslands, typical of the Andean altiplano regions. We will also visit an old silver deposit mined during the presidency of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. A picnic lunch will be provided before we begin our return journey. We will observe various points along the 250 miles of mountains that make up the Sierra del Tontal, best photographed in winter when snow-covered.

We will take a break for a light snack in nature before concluding the trip. We expect to return to your hotel in Barreal by 6 pm.
