Highlights

We will take a few kilometers away from the town to enjoy an exclusive path for those who choose this activity. Thus we will begin to appreciate the magnitude of the landscape, conjugated with the geological interpretation. It will be a path in which we will not find or cross other people. The trek consists of making the 4-kilometer journey across the dry river bed where the geoforms in geological sediments were carved by the action of wind, water and pachamama force.

When arriving at 2700 meters / nm we will rest for a lapse of half an hour approximately to then undertake the return.

It will be an activity of 4 hours approximately where I will tell you about the history, the native culture and the flora as medicinal use.

It will not be a competition of time and effort, but a bearable activity and according to the physical conditions of the participants.

I invite you to discover nature at its best on this path where we will share anecdotes and lots of energy.

Additional Information

Half-day trekking in which you will enjoy a personalized activity.

We will walk paths where the colors of the mountains will motivate us to interpret the different geological processes.

The middle section of our route passes through a mud maze with vertical walls over 40 meters high.

When we reach 2700 meters / nm we will rest, enjoying a unique landscape alone, maybe the condor will fly through our place of rest. The sun, the clouds, the wind will be our only travel companions.

I offer you an activity in which we will walk 8 kms approximately. The circuit is located on the outskirts of Purmamarca being an exclusive place for which other people do not enter.

It is a pleasant journey in which we will share stories about geology, native plants and their medicinal use, as well as the history of the region.

Interesting & beautiful terrain / experience : views, history and more - My wife and I enjoyed our hike with this outfit. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable and spoke English well. The views are great, the terrain is beautiful and while the fauna and flora are minimal, what you do see is interesting and starkly beautiful. I recommend that you accept the offer of ski-pole like walking sticks. (Even if you've never bothered with them before). Most of the paths are made up of small and med. sized rocks and at times you are walking on a sort of 'knife's edge' with a precipitous plunge on one side or the other (and sometimes both) so those walking poles will reduce the give you some confidence or at least reduce the stress of those hiking with you.

Trekking - The unique views, nothing to do with the rest. The guide's contributions in geology, flora and fauna are very rich. In addition to his good vibes and advice about other cities and places.

Hike with Fabricio - Fabricio was an excellent guide and we are so glad we did this on our first morning in Purnamarca because he explained so much about the geology and flora and fauna and we were able to really appreciate the region on the following days. He was very good at accommodating our hiking pace and I highly recommend him! Preston Read and family

Stunning Walk. Excellent guide. - We went on amazing guided walk near Purmamarca with Fabricio. The walk was very varied with stunning, constantly changing scenery and Fabricio was an excellent guide who told us a lot of very interesting information about the geology, the history and the culture. It was also very good value and easy to communicate with him to arrange the walk via WhatsApp. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. ( we later went on a walk in Tilcara with Tilcara Trekking which I would not recommend - much more expensive and we had a terrible guide who spent all the time on his phone )
