Half-Day Nature Tour in the Yungas from Tucumán

We will leave your centrally located Tucumán hotel and travel 12 kilometers to Yerba Buena city crossing the Rinconada way. The famous Paul Groussac has described Yerba Buena as “… a happy and picturesque situation between the hills and the city…”

Then, we will start climbing the lush jungle of Yungas to Villa Nougués, built between hills and ravines. Villa Nougués is a picturesque summertime villa that can be toured walking, horse riding, bike riding or by car. It has a wonderful weather, with warm summers and cold winters; both seasons offer moderate weather, which makes every ride to be pleasant.

A few kilometers later are Loma Bola and San Javier thats exhibits the monumental statue of the Cristo Redentor with a height of 28 meters, just 25 kilometers away from San Miguel de Tucumán. 

Then ahead we will visit the Raco small village, a place with endless options and honoring Atahualpa Yunpanqui, an Argentinean folk singer.

Later, El Siambón will show you its Cristo Rey monastery, which belongs to the Benedictines Order.

To end this beautiful tour, we will visit the The Cadillal Dike. For adventure lovers, El Cadillal is the ideal alternative: cannoning, kayaking, mountain biking, windsurfing, kite surfing, and fishing are sports that can be done with the help of professionals on the matter, surrounded by hills, relaxation, and lots of green. There is nothing better than ending the tour to this dike with a ride on the Arquímides catamaran, from where you can get an unbeatable view of El Cadillal’s landscape.

Finally, we will visit the Museum of Archaeology Ernesto Padilla and then coming back to San Miguel de Tucumán. The tour ends with your centrally located Tucumán hotel drop-off.
