Top San Juan Day Trips

Discover the otherworldly landscapes of the Valley of Calingasta on a day trip that saves you the hassle of car hire and planning. Stray from the beaten path as you delve deeper into Latino culture at the village of Calingasta, and keep your eyes fixed firmly on the scenery of Barreal and Parque Nacional El Leoncito.

The high-Andes hot springs at 10,827 feet (3,300 meters) on Cerro Las Tortolas's foothills require a 75-mile drive from Vicuña on rough mountain roads, advance reservation, and border post registration with Chilean Carabineros at Juntas del Toro—barriers that keep most independent travelers away. Keep logistics simple on this private tour, which includes breakfast in Huanta, a hot springs visit with wine pairing, and dinner back in Vicuña.
