Catamarca & La Rioja & San Juan
CATAMARCA & LA RIOJA & SAN JUAN PROVINCES
Season: September to May (Recommended time)
Duration: 12 days / 11 nights
You will visit science fiction landscapes, where your retinas will not know if you are on earth, the moon or some other distant planet. You will make archaeological visits that will take you to the dinosaurs. You will see the most wonderful landscapes you have ever seen in the absolute absence of man.
You will live a moving experience of contact with the earth and its vastness, with the memories of other geological eras and the notion of simplicity to which it refers us in our daily lives. You will visit a winery to learn about the tradition of Argentine wines and a traditional dinner as well as the southernmost area of the Inca empire and its ruins.
In this proposal, the main activity will be the contemplation and walking tour of all the various unimaginable landscapes that we will present to you, which will be images to remember forever.
The accommodations and services of drivers and guides are also proposals of excellent service and with social commitment to the community to which they belong. The best comfort was sought for each area to visit. We guarantee an unbeatable experience of contact with nature.
