Discover the existence of a pre-Columbian culture

It was very interesting to see the constructions and archaeology of this culture so similar to Machu Pichu and that I ignored.-

Travel to Tafi Valley

The Tucuman jungle and its route to Tafi del Valle on its winding path is a unique and wonderful experience. The landscapes that are appreciated along with the diversity of its flora and fauna make this trip worth living. Ending with the visit at the highest altitude, about 4000 meters above sea level, to reach the ruins of Quilmes and appreciate what has been done by that ulture is to learn more about us. Of course I'd come back

Wonderful tour

I went to Tafi del Valle, the ruins of Quilmes and Cafayate, all in the same day and exceeded my expectations. The tour I did with Daniel Bolomo. I recommend it
