Tour Description
The adventure starts with us picking you up from your accommodation in El Peñón, a charming town nestled within the Catamarcan puna landscape, just 40 km away from the Campo de Piedra Pómez. This location serves as a strategic gateway to one of Argentina's most extraordinary landscapes. The journey unfolds in rugged 4x4 vehicles, designed to navigate the region's challenging paths and allow you to relish the scenery at altitudes exceeding 3,000 meters.
The first highlight is the Salar de la Hoyada, a vast and dazzling expanse of white terrain that stretches endlessly. The White Dunes, with their fine, gleaming sand, present a striking visual contrast along the route. As we continue, we reach the La Hoyada Volcano, a site rich with geological formations that narrate the tale of ancient volcanic occurrences.
The Pumice Field, the tour's main attraction, is situated in the northern part of Catamarca province, within Antofagasta de la Sierra. Here, you'll be awestruck by its gigantic natural sculptures, sculpted by the forces of wind erosion. The Sand Waves, gentle and undulating, breathe life into the desert landscape.
Our route also takes us through the Carachi Pampa area, a captivating region within the stunning Catamarca puna, celebrated for its diverse landscapes and vibrant colors. The Carachi Pampa Volcano, with its commanding presence and dark hues, stands solitary amidst a vast stony pampa. Surrounding the volcano are sprawling areas of petrified lava that contrast beautifully with the white sand dunes and the reddish waters of nearby lagoons.
Lastly, the Pink Lagoon, with its tinted waters and home to graceful flamingos, offers a perfect farewell that blends serenity with natural splendor.
