Antofalla Private Excursion

Antofalla Private Excursion

At the indicated time, we'll hit the road in a 4x4 vehicle from your hotel in El Peñón. Heading north, we'll travel through the northernmost areas of the Argentine province of Catamarca.

Our first stop will be in the town of Antofagasta de la Sierra, where we'll not only visit its main points of interest but also the Alumbrera Volcano. As we'll see, this peak rises majestically over a puna, that is, a high plateau next to the Andes Mountains.

The route will continue next to the pre-Hispanic ruins of Cortadera, and from there we'll continue towards the ravine and the spring of Ojo de Calalaste. Continuing through this area of Catamarca we'll reach the red hills of Antofalla, a small Andean town where we'll make a stop to learn about the local customs.

You'll be able to have lunch on your own in Antofalla, after which we'll visit the main natural areas around town. First, we'll visit its salt flat and then marvel at a lovely set of lagoons: the water mirrors popularly called the Ojos de Campo.

The route will continue through the cone of Antofalla and other colorful volcanoes in the vicinity. After visiting other places such as the Diablo ravine and Vega La Botijuela valley, we'll return to your hotel in El Peñón, where arrival is scheduled for 10.5 hours after pickup.
