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 will begin by crossing the colonial town of San Lorenzo and head to its outskirts. Here, we will find the ravine of the same name and continue along the trails by the San Lorenzo River.

As we follow the river, we will ascend several slopes to various viewpoints offering panoramic views of Salta. We will also explore the yungas of San Lorenzo and see 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, we will enjoy views of the Lerma Valley to the south and the Andean foothills to the north and west.

We will then take another path back to the starting point, concluding our 3-hour walk.

Schedule: every day at 10 am and 3 pm.

7-Hour Route

This is a high-difficulty route covering 12 miles (19 kilometres) and reaching an altitude of 7,870 feet (2,400 metres) above sea level.

The route begins with an ascent through the trails of the San Lorenzo ravine to the Eastern Cordillera. We will see trees typical of the Selva Montana and various ferns and climbing plants characteristic of this biome.

Views of Lerma Valley and the Eastern Cordillera will be highlights of the tour.

Schedule: every day at 10 am.
