Good Plan walk: La Garganta del Diablo
Located in the hills of Tilcara, hiking the Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) offers breathtaking scenery. You have to take in the car or walking a trail to the top of the nearby mountain 8kms.

Arrived at 3000m, park at the end of the road and discover the throat that leads to a waterfall.
