Excursion description
This trip not only allows us to know the surprising colors of the hills that adorn the Chuschul ravine, custodians of Matancilla village and close to the Río Grande village, but also brings us closer to the formidable petroglyphs left over 3.000 years ago by the ancients inhabitants of the Yerbas Buena sector.
This fascinating tour immerses the traveler in a world that seems like stories, entering a scene where the protagonists are the hills of the Chuschul ravine whose astonishing difference in colors gives the impression of observing a rainbow on earth, which is due to a geological formation that offers the outcrop of minerals, salts and clay that, together with the patient but penetrating action of the wind that occurred over millions of years, result in a staging that awakens all the senses.
But this trip not only invites to be in the here and now of the beauty of the place, but also places the visitor in the very footprint of an ancient and intense human activity, which is evident in the abundant petroglyphs located in Yerbas Buenas, site of great anthropological value as it is a privileged witness to the innumerable caravan transit of different cultures, from the high puna to the Pacific Ocean, for thousands of years. The tour also allows us to appreciate the charming village of Santiago de Río Grande, one of the most beautiful in the area, and its particular relationship with the river that bears its name, thanks to which they mainly grow corn, alfalfa, potatoes, garlic, onion and quinoa.
