Cordillera de los Andes

Near the Andes, on the border between Argentina and Chile, a unique journey where the charm of nature blends with history.

In 1817 the Liberator of America, by the Gral. José de San Martin, Grand Army crossed the Andes through the South Patos, a step framed in the valley of the same name in the southwestern province of San Juan . Today, based in Barreal, leave the trips that recreate fragments of one of the most poignant historical deeds of the region. 

The proposal is to ride for 6 days, between 3,000 and 4,500 m, a nearly 100 km along the rugged Andean geography to the border with Chile following part of the San Martin Road. Along the way, the traveling souls will be flooded to the imposing natural landscape elusive: penetrating the river can be admired Volcano walking distance the majestic Aconcagua. The observation of flora and fauna and high mountain, at night reading the stars in the sky of San Juan, the adventure will definitely a lovely touch. 

Barreal is set in Calingasta Valley, southwest of San Juan, 220 km from the provincial capital.
