Hike to Jordan Hot Springs

On this hiking adventure through the Calilegua National Park, you'll traverse lush landscapes until you reach the Jordan hot springs–a natural spa in the heart of the northwestern Argentine jungle.

Ticket Options

When reserving this hiking activity, you can choose between two options. Both include hotel pickup in Salvador de Jujuy and conclude at the same designated point.

7-hour hike

Leaving San Salvador de Jujuy, our journey to the Jordan hot springs starts with a bus trip through the scenic Calilegua National Park. By mid-morning, we'll reach the town of San Francisco, beginning our descent on foot to reach the turquoise pools of the hot springs.

Upon reaching this natural haven, which is tucked away in a shaded, mountainous jungle area, you can bathe in these rejuvenating and tranquil waters. You will also have time to enjoy lunch at local restaurants before we make our way back.

12-hour hike

After hotel pickup, we'll head toward the town of San Francisco. We'll stroll through the town, learning about its history. As we approach the town's edge, we'll start our 700-meter descent through the jungle to a viewpoint where we can see the Jordan hot springs.

At the hot springs, enjoy some free time to unwind in the natural pools, known for their minerals including sulfur. You will have time for lunch at a nearby campsite. Following lunch, we'll hike to the La Cruz Mayor viewpoint at an elevation of 800 meters (2,624 feet) above sea level.

The adventure continues to La Cara del Indio, an ancient figure sculpted into the rock. On the way back to San Salvador, we will stop at the Monument to the Pachamama.
