Description

The Garganta del Diablo is a magnificent rocky formation, approximately 7 kilometers outside of the city of Tilcara. It is one of the most iconic places in Jujuy, in the northern part of Argentina. And horseback riding is one of the best ways to explore this magical place.

We’ll ride through this fantastic gorge that the Huassamayo river created to forge its way through the rocks. Also, from the Garganta del Diablo, we’ll enjoy mesmerizing views of Quebrada de Humahuaca and Nevado del Chañi. Moreover, it is a privileged place to spot different birds that overfly the area. And it has a marvellous waterfall of over 15 meters of height!

On our trip, we’ll depart from the barrio de Chicapa at around 2,450 meters. Thereupon our adventure begins, ascending to 2,950 meters, by a 7 kilometers road that progressively gets steeper. Then, we’ll reach a dazzling view spot, where we will get hypnotizing sceneries of the town and the Quebrada.

After that, we’ll follow our path until we reach an area in which we’ll be able to appreciate the depth of the gorge at the Garganta del Diablo. Here, we’ll take a short hike of 30 minutes approximately, descending to the Huasamayo river and heading towards the cascade. And, if the weather allows it, we can even go for a quick and refreshing swim.

Later, we’ll return through a trail that surrounds Cerro Negro. Finally, we’ll descend returning to the streets of Tilcara.

If you want to join this horseback riding adventure across the Garganta del Diablo in Tilcara, Jujuy, don’t hesitate and request to book this trip. It would be my pleasure to guide you through this majestic place.

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.

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.
