First day of trekking, getting to Cuesta del Obispo<\/h2>\n

Departing Salta towards the South, we will cross little villages such as Cerrillos and El Carril before turning west towards Chicoana.
\nThis is where the yungas (high altitude rainforests) start to be dominant.
\nWe climb and reach the Escoipe gorge, where giant cacti, carob trees, red and rocky landscapes and multicolor crops are found.
\nBefore finishing climbing the Cuesta del Obispo, we will cross the Valle Encantado (Enchanted Valley). We delight ourselves with the best views in the tour.
\nOnce we leave it behind,\u00a0we will get off the vehicle and prepare the gear before walking to the shelter (la Sala)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First activity: trekking to the Condor viewpoint<\/h2>\n

Our\u00a0walk through old Inca roads<\/strong>\u00a0allows us to get a real feel of the immensity of the area. As we gain altitude and is a perfect place for enjoying the views of the Calchaqu\u00ed Valley and the pre Andes.
\nAfter a couple of hours, a small snack with tea or coffee is served next to some wonderfully preserved Inca ruins. This is a perfect spot to see enormous rock formations from above.<\/p>\n

We arrive at the Condor viewpoint, a 3000 meters above sea level plain<\/strong>\u00a0covered with meadows and seasonal flowers, a beautiful view during summer days.<\/p>\n

This is an important place for the condor and, if we are lucky, we may even see some flying above our heads<\/strong>. The group will enjoy a picnic here before starting our descent.
\nAs we walk down in the middle of the mountains, we will visit some\u00a0cave paintings of huge archaeological value<\/strong>.
\nAfter around an hour, the group arrive in the shelter again where a typical Argentinian asado will be waiting for us. The perfect banquet under the stars in an old colonial house in the mountains.<\/p>\n

Day two: Climbing the Torre\u00f3n hill<\/h2>\n

Our second morning begins with a typical \u2018criollo\u2019 breakfast. Before we start\u00a0climbing the Torre\u00f3n hill in between clouds and condors.
\n<\/strong>We can enjoy the\u00a0view of the Cuesta del Obispo<\/strong>\u00a0like nowhere else as we move up.
\nAfter a small snack to recover strength,\u00a0we will head for the top at 3600 meters above sea level<\/strong>.
\nOnce we reach this point, we will feel the air in our faces, the peace of standing above the clouds and embracing the immensity with our senses.
\nAfter our time at the top, we will descend to the shelter for the final lunch before returning to Salta.<\/p>\n

Clarifications about the refuge where you spend the night<\/h3>\n

The mountain shelter referred as \u2018La Sala\u2019 is an old house which was practically abandoned. And now is in the process of being restored<\/strong>.
\nIt does not have running water and the rooms, toilet and living room are precarious.
\nThe idea of using this house is to experience the locals way of living<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We also have a 1 day option in this same area<\/strong>\u00a0where we make a quick visit to the shelter. For more info about this Day Trekking Trip, visit this\u00a0page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
