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.

AAGM Mountain Guide from Argentina.
I was born in Catamarca province, land of 6000m peaks (los seismiles), such as Pissis and Ojos del Salado.
I now live in Tilcara, Jujuy, located in the 'Quebrada de Humahuaca' a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I guide mountaineering, trekking, horse riding and multi adventure trips in Argentina's North and North-West region.
When guiding, my objective is to provide confidence and safety to my clients, and by the end of the trip to say goodbye as friends.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
