Trekking in San Juan - We did the trekking with Cristian. It is of medium demand, where most of it is simple with moments of greater complexity. On the way to the hill you walk along the old mining route seeing some ruins of the facilities that remained. We were able to see a guanaco when we climbed to the top. Very nice panoramic view of the Punta Negra dam. Cristian was always very willing and told us things about the place, making the experience very bearable and interesting. In addition to Cerro la Sal we did Lomas de las Tapias and trekking to the black edge. I recommend!

An unforgettable experience! - Beautiful experience. We trekked to the salt dumps one day, and the next trekked to the three summits. The warmth of the guide and his experience is to be highlighted. Friendliness, good treatment and nice moments shared made the excursion the best we live in San Juan. The landscapes are amazing. The pekes still ask when we repeat:) Posta Inca, thank you very much for everything!

Trekking Cerro de Sal - Highly recommended trekking to salt spills. Cristian is "the most", he has all the experience, apart from the rating that he is an excellent person and that he loves what he does. I went with my husband and my 9 and 13-year-old sons. He was always attentive to the little one and asked us if we needed to stop for water or if we wanted to rest. Super attentive to everyone! The whole tour is fabulous, an experience we will not forget!

They're gonna fall in love with San Juan - SPECTACULAR, SUPER RECOMMEND! The scenery is incredible, the activity has the right level of demand without getting tired, the guide knows a lot and is super friendly, it is pointing out points of interest, plants, animals, stones, all kinds of stories that make the walk become a real adventure. TAKE A SWIMSUIT BECAUSE THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL LAGOON WHERE YOU CAN GET INTO THE WATER
