Hiking in San Lorenzo

Forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life by going hiking in San Lorenzo with us. You'll admire the best views of Salta, the Andean foothills, and Lerma Valley.

Hiking in San Lorenzo

When making your booking, you'll be able to opt for a 3 or 7-hour route. In both cases, we'll meet up at your chosen time on Calle Juan Carlos Dávalos.

3-Hour Route

We'll begin our hike across the colonial town of San Lorenzo and head to its outskirts towards the ravine. Following the San Lorenzo River, we'll climb several slopes leading to different viewpoints with panoramic views of Salta. You'll have the opportunity to explore the yungas of San Lorenzo and observe endemic trees such as cockspur coral trees, walnut trees, myrtles, and alders.

At the highest point of our route, 5,900 feet (1,800 metres) above sea level, breathtaking views will be visible, including the Lerma Valley to the south and the Andean foothills to the north and west. We will then return to the starting point after 3 hours of walking.

Schedule: every day at 10 am and 3 pm.

7-Hour Route

This high-difficulty route covers 12 miles (19 kilometres) and reaches an altitude of 7,870 feet (2,400 metres). Our ascent will take us through the trails of the San Lorenzo ravine until we arrive at the Eastern Cordillera, where various trees typical of the Selva Montana can be seen.

Participants will observe lush ferns, diverse epiphytes, and climbing plants along with views of Lerma Valley and the Eastern Cordillera.

Schedule: every day at 10 am.
