Your journey will commence at 3 pm in front of the Purmamarca Church. Here, you'll meet your fellow adventurers and the Andean llama caravan that will be your companions throughout the hike.

As we embark on this one-of-a-kind experience, you'll have the opportunity to become a caravaneer for the day. We'll explore the historic journeys taken by the ancestors of the local community, who transported salt from the nearby flats to the valleys for corn exchanges. The significance of these goods will be shared along the way.

Our route will lead us along multiple gentle paths beside the llamas, with frequent pauses to appreciate the landscapes and cultural aspects of the area. During our hike, keep your eyes peeled for the stunning and diverse hills – you'll learn about the reasons behind their vibrant colors!

Throughout our expedition, we'll uncover details about the region’s main endemic flora. Notable plants include molles, churquis, pencas, and airampos, each possessing remarkable medicinal and nutritional benefits.

By 6 pm, we'll return to the starting point, concluding our hike as we bid farewell to our llama companions, having shared a wonderful day of exploration.
