Arroyo Turquesa Trip

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Barreal at 10 am and then set off in a 4x4 jeep to the Laguna Blanca shelter, approximately 50 miles away.

At this lake, located at 10,100 ft, we'll start a 5-mile trek through the Andes mountains. The journey includes several 15-minute breaks for rest.

We'll stop at the Guanaquitos Post at over 11,000 feet altitude to taste some local products. After lunch, we'll continue to the Arroyo Turquesa natural reserve, situated at nearly 13,500 feet in the Andean peaks.

Upon reaching our destination, we'll explain the causes of the stream's intense color while we walk and take pictures along its banks. We'll also observe principal species of local Andean flora and fauna.

From the stream, we'll return on foot to the trekking start point, where we'll get back into the jeep to begin our return journey to Barreal, admiring more Andean landscapes. After a short snack break, we'll take you back to your hotel, concluding this private tour around midnight.
