The road to Calingasta is beautiful, the landscapes are incredible, the mountains exhibit varied colors. There is a beautiful sculpture of the Christ of Mercy, it is located on a hill that allows a panoramic view of the valley.

This is where Argentina and Chile have their roots all the PLAZAs San Martin and Las Herrqs come for a Andes crossing-over beginning here by some coronels going into battle with the Spanish colonial gouvernement and following the RIO de Los Patos. Amazing Views . breathless skies

From San Juan along a picturesque road you reach the Calingasta Valley, and 35 km further you reach Barreal. On the way you must not miss going to see the El Alcazar hill, it is a wonder, as well as the hill of the 7 colors. Barreal, a beautiful town from where you can go to Barreal Blanco in the Pampa El Leoncito. They do car sailing there and also very close is the El Leoncito Astronomical Observatory, where you can see the clearest sky in South America. It can be visited day and night, since the sky is very starry. This trip is worth it. It is also a very good and picturesque road.

The views are incredible, Cerro Alcázar is a monument of nature. Indescribable experience. Also Barreal, a town full of landscapes with mountainous backgrounds, the Andes as a backdrop; the adobe houses. Spectacular.

Dream landscapes, very kind and cordial people! It far exceeded our expectations. Contact with nature in its purest form. There are many activities to develop. You have to study the maps and the different possibilities to make the most of the time and the long kilometers! In the Barreal area we recommend @bahoaventurabarreal, and Posada Paso de los Patos. In Valle Fértil we recommend the Hotel Rústico and Hugo Fernandez for the walks. All excellent people and tourism professionals!

Calungasta, or the village where I got one of the best receptions here in Argentina, the locals seemed really happy to receive tourists and share a moment with us!

Unfortunately it gives the feeling that the locals are not interested in visiting them. To give an example... It's hard to find a place to eat lunch in Barreal.
