About this tour

At the selected time we will leave Villa Unión to head towards the emblematic Route 40. We will continue our way to the town of Guandacol, where we will surround ourselves with a landscape of reddish mountains that will surround us. In this place lived the indigenous Guandacoles, who inhabited the territory of the province along with the Diaguitas and Olongastas.

We will make a detour to the Vallecito Encantado, where we will get off the vehicle to take a walk in this particular place. We will dive into a fantasy world, in a valley that seems to mimic the surface of the Moon!

During our trekking we can see curious shapes in the rocks formed by wind erosion, such as "the ship", "the lizard" or "the hat".

After the walk we will be returning to our selected hotels in Villa La Unión.

Frequently asked questions

To enjoy the trekking excursion in Vallecito Encantado, it is essential to wear comfortable clothing appropriate for physical activity. I recommend layering your clothing to adapt to changes in temperature throughout the day. Trekking shoes with good grip are essential to ensure stability on uneven terrain. Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, and a light windbreaker. Hydration is vital, so carrying a backpack with water is essential. A small energy snack can also be useful during the hike.

The trek in Vallecito Encantado lasts approximately 6 to 8 hours, depending on weather conditions and the pace of the group. This hike is considered moderate, so it's recommended for those in reasonable physical condition and with some previous hiking experience. Although you don't need to be an expert, keep in mind that some sections may require greater physical effort. The beauty of the landscape and the experience are worth the challenge. Remember to disclose any medical conditions before starting the hike.

No, food is not included in the Vallecito Encantado trekking excursion. I recommend bringing a light lunch and energy snacks to stay active and well-fed during the hike. Fruits, nuts, and energy bars are practical and easy options to carry in your backpack. Also, remember to bring enough water to stay hydrated throughout the hike. If you have any dietary restrictions, be sure to plan ahead and bring food that meets your nutritional needs.

Trekking in Vallecito Encantado is an activity that, due to its moderate level of difficulty, is primarily recommended for adults and teenagers in good physical condition. It is not ideal for very young children or older adults who may have mobility restrictions or health problems. However, teenagers accustomed to outdoor activities and older adults in good shape can experience the trail. It is always important to consult a doctor before participating, especially if you have health concerns. The safety and well-being of participants are the highest priority.

The excursion to Vallecito Encantado generally begins in Villa Unión, a strategic location for exploring the region's natural beauty. From Villa Unión, transportation is provided by the contracting travel agency, ensuring comfort and safety. If you're traveling from another city, you can reach Villa Unión by car or by taking bus services that connect with the region's main cities.
