Get ready to dive into the wild side of Argentina and discover the Southern Yungas of Tucuman, a sanctuary for nature lovers and an important conservation area in Argentina. This expedition will allow us to explore numerous hiking trails in the dense foliage as we discover hidden waterfalls, and encounter the vibrant wildlife that calls this region home.
This thrilling two-day journey will take us on a thrilling journey to connect Villa Nougues with the remote village of Potrero de las Tablas and the vibrant city of Lules. As we progress, we will encounter culturally significant sites, such as the hanging bridge of Potrero, the ruins of the middle dam, crossing the hydroelectric tunnel, the remains of the operators' citadel and more.
On the first day of our adventure, I will personally pick you up from your hotel in Tucuman and provide transportation to the starting point of our trekking expedition. We will then reach the enchanting Villa Nougues, a gateway to explore the wider region of Tucuman.
We will then continue our adventure towards Potrero de las Tablas. Here, we will encounter a vast expanse of grasslands, known as "pampas" which stretch as far as the eye can see, adorned with rolling hills, scattered groves of trees, and crystal-clear streams. We'll set up camp, explore abundant biodiversity, and mark the end of our first day with a memorable bonfire.
When the sun rises on the next morning, we'll be treated with breakfast before dismantling our camp and preparing for our next trek towards the fascinating historical site of Dique Ruins. Situated near a reservoir or "dique," these ruins offer a glimpse into the region's rich cultural and architectural heritage, showcasing the remnants of an ancient settlement. We'll be able to enjoy lunch amidst the captivating backdrop of the remains of buildings and structures that once stood as a thriving community. As the afternoon unfolds, we will continue our trek across the winding trails, surrounded by the untouched beauty of the Southern Yungas.
With its variety of trails and stunning scenery, the Southern Yungas of Tucuman are a perfect destination for hikers of all levels. Join me on this unparalleled expedition as we venture into the untamed landscapes of Argentina - book your spot today!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
