Multi -Adventure in the heart of Iguazu Jungle!

This is a great and exciting experience for active travelers!

On this half day tour the action begins as Movitracks or 4×4 vehicles take you to the launching platform. From there incredible canopy-treks and jungle-walks take you through hanging  bridges and rappel climbing. You learn about the local flora and fauna of the Parana River as you fly over the jungle when ziplining or amaze as you rapel over a 12 mt high cascade.

The adventure starts with a 900-meter exploration trek to learn about the native Paranaense flora and fauna. On arrival at the first launching platform we get into the special equipment needed for the rest of the activities.

Our next highlight will start as we fly towards the second platform with a 300-meter zip line at the height of 70 meters. From there we will descend walking on a path towards the ravine of the Parana river where our next quest will take place.

The 3rd platform will test our balance. Our task will be to cross 2 bridges of 100 meters each hanging from the jungle trees and then rappel through an irregular ladder towards a waterfall of approximately 12 meters high. Another soft trekking of 1,500 meters will take us to the meeting point.

The experience ends but we can take with us all the wonderful adrenaline Iguazu Jungle has to offer!!

Walk through ancient Inca roads! Trekking to the clouds.

Live this extraordinary experience in the Argentinean Northwest!

Walk through ancient Inca roads and discover old ruins and breathtaking landscapes. Enjoy unique moments interacting with locals while sharing special dinners and warm campfires.

The Trekking to the Clouds proposes three different experiences depending on how many days you choose to walk and the level of difficulty of each version.

Sillon del Inca 

This version is intended for those seeking for a mountain experience within the immensity of Quebrada del Toro. The trail leads to a peculiar panoramic lookout point where native villagers built an observatory (El Observatorio) to share the incredible view with visitors.  The path continues towards Sillón del Inca ruins where we will camp for the night. The way back is through Mount Golgota, passing by Abra del Caminante, reaching 3000 mts above sea level, enjoying wonderful panoramic views of the region. The day ends descending through Golgota’s slope down to the picturesque village of Ingeniero Maury.

Confluencia: 

For those looking for a more active experience and a deeper interaction with locals.

First night camping at Sillón del Inca Ruins, then on the second day, the trek continues up to Abra de la Cruz, the highest point of the trail (3400 mts above sea level). If the sky is clear, the immensity of Valle de Lerma, where Salta city is located, comes into full view. By the afternoon, the Reinaga family will be expecting us in their cozy mountain home expecting to share a dinner full of experiences as we enjoy a privileged view of the hills. During day three, the trek will continue from the deserted mountains towards the outskirts of the Yunga forest descending alongside Río Astilleros, where the vehicle to return to Salta will be waiting for us.

San Lorenzo:

For those travelers who want to extend and experience the full version of Trekking to the Clouds, it is possible to add an extra night and arrive in San Lorenzo. 

The third day, travelers leave the deserted area to enter the density of the Yunga forest. The night is spent at Miss Feliciana Sarapura’s house, with whom we will share our evening meal cooked with local ingredients and a very welcoming smile.

On day four, the trail takes us through the lower hills, the vegetation gets more lush as we approach the outskirts of the yunga’s forest. We may come across the local people herding their cattle as they move from one post to another looking for better grass.

In the afternoon we reach San Lorenzo village, near Salta city. As we get in the truck that will take us back we leave this wonderful adventure behind, treasuring memories that will never be forgotten.

Join us on this adventure, walk over the clouds and feel like touching the sky!
