Itinerary

We will trek to one of the rarest and most particular streams in the Andes Mountains, where the miners have changed the color of the water, transforming it into turquoise! We will also spend the night in one of the camps on the Mercedario hill, this hill is the highest in San Juan (6770 masl) and the fifth in America. Views of its summit and El Caballito glacier are priceless!
