I always say that in this world we have natural wonders spectacular, and it is that wherever you go you will surely find a landscape worthy of saying: «this is spectacular». In South America you can find some of the best natural landscapes in the world, and it is a very tropical continent with a nature that is very much worth discovering. One of these places is in Argentina and they are the catamarca valleys, a set of places where contrast and diversity leave a unique landscape.

The colors and the vegetation What this area offers make that from one region to another both things change radically, which makes it one of the richest and most beautiful regions in the world in terms of landscape beauty. There you can discover a lot of trails, mountains, trees, lakes ... all within the reach of almost anyone and that will also allow you to carry out various activities such as trekking.

One of the paths that is considered a must-see is the «Paso de San Francisco», which connects Fiambalá with Copiapó and which has an extension of no less than 200 kilometers. During that "walk" you will have before you an eternity of sky and mountains but you will never tire of admiring since they all have something special.

Another of the valleys that is most famous in this Argentine region of Catamarca is the Hualfín valley, which has several inactive volcanoes and other very interesting places such as mountain ranges and vineyards, where by the way you can have a wonderful wine while enjoying the scenery. In the part of the city of this valley is the chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, one of the most historical places in all of Argentina and which has been there since 1770.
