On this tour through the villages of the Rioja coast, we'll explore the beautiful towns in the region, including Agua Blanca, Las Peñas, and Chuquis.
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in La Rioja before heading to the Riojan coast, which does not have any coastline. The reason will be revealed during our tour.
We'll first pass through Las Padercitas, Quebrada, and Túnel. We will also see the Los Sauces dam and the town of Sanagasta, characterised by its low-lying houses and narrow roads.
Our tour will then take us to the caves of Salamanca and Valle del Huaco. Here, we'll cross the homonymous slope, passing through picturesque villages at the foot of the Sierra del Velazsco - Agua Blanca, Las Peñas, and Chuquis, where we'll stop at Castro Barros' house museum.
We'll continue along the coast of La Rioja, visiting the towns of Pinchas, Aminga, and Anillaco, before returning to your hotel in La Rioja about 5 hours after pickup.
Depending on the conditions and roads, we may return via the mountain road or past the Señor de La Peña, a solitary rock resembling the head of Christ. Every Holy Week, thousands of pilgrims from all regions of Argentina gather here.
