Rioja Coast Villages Tour

On this tour through the villages of the Rioja coastt, we'll explore the most beautiful towns in the region, including Agua Blanca, Las Peñas, and Chuquis!

Description

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in La Rioja before heading to the Riojan coast, which does not have any coastline. The reason for this will be revealed during our tour!

We'll first pass through Las Padercitas, Quebrada, and Túnel. We will see the Los Sauces dam and the town of Sanagasta, characterised by its low-lying houses and narrow roads, giving it a unique landscape.

Our tour will then bring us to the caves of Salamanca and Valle del Huaco. Here, we'll cross the slope, passing through a number of picturesque villages at the foot of the Sierra del Velazsco - Agua Blanca, Las Peñas, and Chuquis, where we'll stop at Castro Barros' house museum.

We'll continue along the coast of La Rioja, visiting the towns of Pinchas, Aminga, and Anillaco, returning to your hotel in La Rioja about 5 hours after pickup.

Depending on conditions, we can return via the mountain road or past the Señor de La Peña, a large solitary rock that resembles the head of Christ, where thousands of pilgrims gather every Holy Week.
