Trekking Itinerary<\/h1>\n

The adventure begins<\/h2>\n

We start the day picking up passengers from their accommodations.
\nThe group travels south by vehicle, passing through Cerrillos and El Carril, then turning west toward Chicoana<\/strong> (a great spot for a horseback ride<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We continue through the lush cloud forest known as the Yungas.<\/p>\n

After a few kilometers uphill, we enter the Quebrada de Escoipe<\/strong>, featuring cacti, carob trees, red rock formations, and colorful agricultural terraces.<\/p>\n

Arrival at Cuesta del Obispo base<\/h2>\n

We arrive at Lo de Naticho inn<\/strong>, located at the foot of Cuesta del Obispo, near El Maray<\/strong>.
\nFrom there, we begin the hike toward Cerro Torre\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

This viewpoint offers one of the most stunning panoramic views in northern Argentina and is perfect for trekking and hiking lovers.<\/p>\n

Condor Viewpoint Trek<\/h2>\n

We hike along ancient trails<\/strong>.
\nYou’ll witness the vastness and beauty of this spectacular area, which borders the Calchaqu\u00ed Valleys<\/a> and stretches deep into the Andes.<\/p>\n

Before the ascent, a safety briefing is held. We\u2019ll go over contingency plans, and provide guidance on native flora and fauna, as well as hiking techniques and equipment use<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rock formations of great geological beauty can be seen from this point.<\/p>\n

Continuing the hike, we reach the Condor Viewpoint<\/strong>: a highland plain at 3,000 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n

This area features grasslands and in summer, vibrant wildflowers bloom across the trail.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a vital habitat for the Andean condor. With some luck, you’ll witness their majestic flights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picnic in the mountains<\/h2>\n

Time for lunch.
\nThe group shares a picnic in the heart of the mountains, with breathtaking views of Cuesta del Obispo.<\/b><\/p>\n

After relaxing and recharging, we begin our descent.<\/p>\n

We hike for about one hour to return to the starting point where the vehicle awaits, and then drive back to Salta City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
