Caminata por el Camino Inca en Argentina
Descripción
Esta es una dura caminata de 7-9 km a través de paisajes impresionantes y accidentados a gran altitud: ¡adecuada para el excursionista experimentado y aventurero! Desde la ciudad de Salta, viajamos a Campo Quijano, una ciudad famosa por ser la base de los trabajadores que construyen la línea ferroviaria Tren a las Nubes hacia la costa chilena. Podemos detenernos para ver una locomotora antigua y el mausoleo del ingeniero jefe de la línea del tren, Richard Maury, de Filadelfia, EE. UU. Desde aquí subiremos a la impresionante Quebrada de Toro multicolor, cruzando ríos y conduciendo fuera de la carretera a través de cañones para llegar a San Bernardo de las Zorras, donde comienza nuestra caminata. Son dos horas de viaje en cada sentido: la caminata dura entre 4 y 5 horas. Nuestro guía tiene experiencia en caminatas todo terreno y habla inglés y español. Se proporciona almuerzo tipo picnic.

The hike of the Inca Tour that we did with Poncho Tours was amazing! Our tour guide Nick Evans was excellent--very knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to make sure we had a rewarding day. The Andean landscapes were stunning. Our tour with Poncho Tours was the highlight of our recent trip to Argentina and we would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
It was a pleasure to meet you both, and share the hike with you, hope you come back!
We loved our tours with Nick - he made everything so straightforward for us so we were able to just sit back and enjoy the incredible scenery around the Salta region. The Inca trail hike was a particular experience we were very keen to have while in Argentina and we’re happy we found Nick to guide us. It was amazing to get off the beaten track from the more visited tourist attractions and to have a hike through the stunning mountain landscapes past several sites of Incan ruins. Nick also suggested adding a visit to the pre-Incan ruins at Tastil and we were really glad we saw these as well. We also enjoyed Nick’s company and the information he gave us about the area while we were exploring. We’d very happily book with Poncho Tours if/when we (hopefully!) come back to Argentina!
Thanks for taking time out to write a review for us Fiona: I enjoyed spending time with you and Chris. Yes, come back soon!
The guide is knowledgeable and informative. He prepared everything including the lunch, water and Yerba mate tea. He is professional with GPS providing exact location, route and altitude. The Inca Ruins were impressive.
Thanks Wilson, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Two weeks with Nick tracing route 40 was outstanding. No better guide to local/remote inns, restaurants and shops is possible. More than simply wonderful scenery, he provides insightful commentary to history, culture and flora/fauna. Eating empanadas, buying a salt llama, drinking chicha, watching flamingos or Spanish colonial religious paintings, climbing a 1920s railroad trestle ( built with civil engineer Tito!), wandering in small rural town squares, marveling at the friendly industrious Argentines, observing Bolivian smugglers, enjoying Cafayate Malbec, learning, learning. All in supportive care and direction of a friendly companion, Manchester’s own Nick Evans. Go with Poncho tours or don’t go.
Thanks Stuart, I enjoyed the time on the road with you, and our chats about politics, football and all things indigenous!
