The tour of the Yala Lagoons and Termas de Reyes is a midday tour, and can be done in the morning or afternoon.
Leaving from San Salvador de Jujuy we will take route 9 towards the town of Yala. A very popular place in the valleys for the high altitude lagoons and the trout farms that supply the restaurants in the city. Crossing the Yala River ravine we will go up a dirt road towards Los Nogales. Then upon entering the Potreros de Yala Provincial Park you will begin to see the mountain jungle with its humid cloud forest (Yungas).
The Yala lagoons that emerge from crystal clear waters among the surrounding green environment that are located at 2,306 m.a.s.l. We will visit the lagoons of El Comedero, Desaguadero and Rodeo.
The thick vegetation and flowers make up an attractive landscape setting in the extension. The fauna coexists made up of different species of macas, herons, ducks, coots and biguas. There are low areas where parrots, magpies, and wild turkeys live; and other higher ones occupied by earwigs, kingfishers, condors, and reptiles. It is also a nesting place for rare birds, and trout and silversides breed in the lagoons.
After a short trekking on the high altitude trails we will begin to descend towards Las Termas de Reyes.
Legendarily visited by the monarchs of the Inca Empire, they add to their historical value the privileged natural conditions that surround them with lush vegetation and colorful hills.
You can enjoy it in two ways, the outdoor pool (you can bring a swimsuit) or the private boxes, both places have an incredible view.
Healthy and pleasant, the Termas de Reyes lie serene in the Los Valles region, a short distance from San Salvador de Jujuy, forming a magical place that no one can deprive themselves of enjoying. Without a doubt one of the best options if you have 1/2 day.
