Trekking to the Enchanted Valley

About this experience

This trek is characterized by its dazzling landscape, where it contrasts extreme aridity, strange geoforms of stones and huge reddish walls outlined by the action of natural erosion over the lake of 4 million years. These, give the Valley that charming and magical aspect that transform it into a natural, unique and unmissable spectacle. Geoforms are undoubtedly one of its great attractions and can be seen from the heart of the valley with this unforgettable trekking.
