Tour Description
Our journey begins in La Rioja, where we will traverse the western residential district of the city, exploring key sites such as the Padercitas, Quebrada, El Túnel, El Dique de Los Sauces, Villa Sanagasta, Salamanca caves, and the Huaco Valley. In the Huaco Valley, we will ascend the Huaco slope for breathtaking landscapes as we embark on a scenic route along the picturesque coasts bordering the Sierra del Velasco: Agua Blanca, Las Peñas, and Chuquis. Here, we will pause to visit the home of Castro Barros and explore their house-museum.
Our tour continues along the coast, visiting Pinchas, Aminga, and finally Anillaco. From Anillaco, we will make our way back to La Rioja. Depending on road conditions, we may return via the mountain route or by the Lord of La Peña, a massive solitary rock in a vast barreal resembling the head of Christ, where every year during Holy Week, thousands of pilgrims from all walks of life gather to celebrate Easter.
