Here you don't watch the sky: you feel it.
They say that beneath the Uritorco glows Erks, a city of light that appears on no map. That the Comechingones climbed up to talk to the mountain. That some nights, the sky looks back. Come see for yourself: it's Argentina's clearest, most famous sky.
Travel well prepared
How to climb Cerro Uritorco: the complete guide
Get there as early as possible: entry closes before noon and you have to be back down by mid-afternoon, so it's best to start at 7.
Los Terrones: Capilla's most surreal walk
The long circuit requires a guide and departures are usually at intervals, so it's best to arrive early and check the time of the last hike.
Ongamira: 8,000 years of history in a cave
Arrive early to make the most of the light and avoid the midday heat.
