Jachal, Rodeo and Pismanta Trip

After picking you up from your hotel in San Juan at 8 am, we will head to the northern area of the province, where you will enjoy the landscapes.

The first stop is the city of San José de Jáchal, where we will see its adobe houses, narrow alleys, and 18th-century colonial buildings. We will visit the Archdiocesan Sanctuary, a National Historical Monument, and see the Cristo Negro (Black Christ), made with local leather.

We will follow National Route 150 into the central foothills, an area of great biodiversity where we will observe native fauna, including llamas. The itinerary continues next to the Cuesta del Viento dam.

Next, we will stop at the village of Rodeo, the main settlement in the Iglesia region, where you will have one hour free for lunch (not included). Here, you will learn about the origins of the town's name. After lunch, we will stop at the Pismanta hot springs to explain its invigorating properties.

On the way back to San Juan, we will pass through the towns of Las Flores and Bella Vista, reaching the highest point on the route: Mount Colorado. Finally, we will return to your hotel in San Juan, arriving around 6 pm.
