Summary:
It is already the third trip we have made with Posta Inca and again it was an unforgettable experience. We participate in the exploration trip between Yavi (Jujuy) and Los Toldos (Salta) by the new road past Santa Victoria West, to visit the El Nogalar Reserve and Baritú National Park. Excellent organization, the usual good vibe and a spectacular group. The road is certainly worth it, crossing opens to more than 4600 meters high and passing from the Puna to the Yungas. And Baritú, with the yungas, the baths in El Lipeo, the rivers and the local people, are spectacular.
