7-hour hike

Leaving San Salvador de Jujuy, our journey to the Jordan hot springs starts with a bus trip through Calilegua National Park. By mid-morning, we'll reach San Francisco, beginning our descent on foot to the turquoise pools of the hot springs.

Upon reaching this natural area, we invite you to bathe in these tranquil waters. You'll also have ample time to enjoy lunch at local restaurants before we return to the starting point.

12-hour hike

After hotel pickup in Salvador de Jujuy, we head to the town of San Francisco. We'll explore the town's history and then start our 700-meter descent (2,296 feet) through the jungle. The path leads to a viewpoint to see the Jordan hot springs and their turquoise waters.

At the Jordan hot springs, you'll have free time to unwind in the natural pools, known for their mineral content, including sulfur. Don't miss spending at least an hour in these therapeutic waters.

Afterward, enjoy lunch at a nearby campsite. Once reenergized, we will hike to La Cruz Mayor viewpoint at an elevation of 800 meters (2,624 feet). Our adventure continues to La Cara del Indio and concludes at the Monument to the Pachamama before returning to San Salvador.
