4-day guided hike in Calilegua National Park
Join certified mountain guide David on a 4-day hike through the beautiful Calilegua National Park in Jujuy, Argentina and discover its wonderful flora and fauna!
Description
Join me on a fantastic trip to the colorful Jujuy province in Argentina. On this 4-day trip through Las Yungas, the subtropical jungle of Calilegua National Park, we’ll discover varied vegetation, stunning views and the warmth of the local people.
This historic hiking trail in the Calilegua National Park will take us through some wonderful places in the Argentine pre-Andes. Some of these places include San Francisco, Peña Alta, San Lucas, Santa Bárbara, Valle Grande River, San Lucas River and many others. You can check the itinerary below for more information. However, keep in mind it may change depending on weather conditions and the group’s pace.
Additionally, keep in mind that for this trip you will need to bring comfortable and warm clothes for hiking, hiking boots, sandals, two hats (one for the sun and one for the cold), a waterproof jacket, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottles, a sleeping bag, thermal insulation, personal hygiene bag and walking sticks. Also take into consideration that you will need to be physically fit for this excursion. Of course, I’ll be happy to help you with anything you may need.

I hired David Torres for a full-day mountain hike at least 2 months in advance. Without explanation or warning, he sent in his place a man with a recently broken ankle who uses a cane to walk! My entire day of \"hiking\" was a 3k slow walk on a flat trail. I have attempted to get a refund, but the company has refused to communicate with me. The replacement guide told me David had another trip at the same time as mine, and chose the other, more lucrative, trip.

The trip was amazing. The climb especially. Not being used to horse riding it was quite exhausting but overall we were very satisfied with how the day went.
I dont know where to start. But david do not speak english, as he said and lupe from explore and share said he did. But I was thinking okay ill get to practice My spanish. But we had some trouble in communication. And there was some bad communication between david and Explorer and share so i did not get the expedition i bought. I paid My self for 3 days at hostels and hotels althoug it was included also 100 dollars extra for base camp at llullaillaco. At grand tolar david left me at gave me a local guide lorenzo also only speaking spanish but really nice and peacefull and great Guy by the way. But david said he has problems so he had to go. When i got down from summit no david. So i write to him a litle angry where he was and where My stuff was and he was in a city 3 hours away. But he got me some transport to him and ill ended up paying for My hotel there to. Now to the good things. The expedition where beutyfull. And david know whats good for you i got good aklimatation and most places where absolutely stunning. Will i recomend david. Probely not. Unless you speak spanish and make sure everthing is sorte out and no misunderstandings.
