Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in San Miguel de Tucumán for a day trip to the Aconquija National Park. We'll pass through the sugar cane, lemon, and blueberry plantations typical of the region.

Through the Aconquija National Park, we will see the lush vegetation of the Yungas Forest. Our first stop will be at the Samay Cochuna camping site, followed by a stop at the La Banderita lookout for views of the forest and the peaks of the Nevados del Aconquija. This is a great opportunity for photos.

Approximately 3 and a half hours after pickup, we will arrive at the Valle de Las Estancias, where we will take a short break before trekking along the Camino del Inca Argentino.

After 40 minutes of hiking, we will reach the Inca site of Pucará del Aconquija to explore its kallankas, kolcas, walls, and defensive towers. A lunch with a sandwich and a piece of fruit will be provided outdoors.

After completing a 2-kilometer journey to a maximum altitude of 7217 feet (2200 m), we will return to San Miguel de Tucumán. We will drop you off at your hotel about 12 hours after pickup.
