Embark on an exciting journey from Villa Union to Chilecito, one of La Rioja's main mining towns located in the northwest of Argentina. The captivating landscapes of this region await you!
We'll start our adventure by picking you up at your Villa Union hotel at the designated time. From there, we'll head eastward.
Our route will lead us along National Route 40, an iconic highway that traverses the vast western region of Argentina from south to north. Along this famous roadway, we'll make a stop at the scenic viewpoints of the Cuesta de Miranda. This segment of RN-40 is celebrated for its winding path that gracefully meanders through the mountains of La Rioja.
After savoring the breathtaking sights from the Cuesta de Miranda, perched at an elevation of 2,400 meters (7,875 feet), our journey will continue toward Chilecito. We'll commence our exploration of this Riojan town by visiting Cable Car Station 2. This monumental engineering marvel, constructed in 1904, played a vital role in transporting precious metals from the La Mexicana mine to the city.
Our Chilecito tour will also include a visit to the towering Cristo del Portezuelo, a magnificent 16-meter-high (52-foot) sculpture. Following this enriching experience, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a self-paced lunch. Additionally, those interested can explore a local winery.
Finally, we'll regroup in the heart of Chilecito and make our way back to your Villa Union hotel. Expect to return 8 hours after our initial departure.
