Pucará de Aconquija Hiking Tour

Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in San Miguel de Tucumán to begin our day trip to the Aconquija National Park. Along the way, we'll pass the vast sugar cane, lemon, and blueberry plantations, typical products of the region.

In Aconquija National Park, we'll admire the lush vegetation of the Yungas Forest. Our first stop will be at the Samay Cochuna camping site, followed by a stop at the La Banderita lookout, where you'll see the forest and the peaks of the Nevados del Aconquija.

Three and a half hours after pickup, we'll arrive at the Valle de Las Estancias, where we will take a short break before starting our trek along the Camino del Inca Argentino.

After the first 40 minutes of hiking, we'll reach the Inca site of Pucará del Aconquija, where we'll explore its kallankas, kolcas, walls, and defensive towers. A lunch break outdoors will include a sandwich and a piece of fruit.

After our 2-kilometer journey, reaching a maximum altitude of 7217 feet (2200 m), we'll return to San Miguel de Tucumán. About 12 hours after pickup, we'll drop you off at your hotel.
