dream landscape - Beautiful trekking in San Juan. It leaves from Barreal. After two hours in a van, you park at a shelter and ascend a path that borders a stream. You ascend from 3,200 meters above sea level to 4,000 meters above sea level until you reach the confluence of two streams with waters of different colors. The turquoise color of the water is magical and something to admire for a long time.

Wonderful experience!! - It really is something you have to do in life. The experience of being in the heart of the majestic Andes mountain range, walking, feeling like you can't get there... and suddenly you see that spectacular Turquesa Stream... all that remains is to thank life... Cristian and Euge for making it happen. That effort is worth it! Infinite thanks! I recommend water to die and fruits to avoid soroche

Treikking turquoise stream my experience - We left for Barreal, with Cristian and Eugenia. We stayed in a very comfortable inn with the mountain range behind as a landscape. Divine Mobica. The rooms are comfortable. The next day a mountain trekking, spectacular. Cristian super experienced, a genius. Getting to turquoise stream, exciting!! Enjoy those Andean beauties. And the next day visit 2 nearby towns. Everything is excellent. Euge and Cristian, sensational in everything. This excursion is highly recommended.
