Embark on an unforgettable journey to the heart of the San Juan mountain range, crossing the majestic Quebrada de Las Burras. Our first stop is the imposing Cerro Alcázar, a natural gem that amazes with its whimsical shapes and intense colors.
We continue to Barreal, a charming mountain setting, where we'll discover the immensity of the El Leoncito Pampa and the unspoiled beauty of El Leoncito National Park.
