Rute
Your adventure begins with pickup from your centrally located hotel in Salta. We’ll then travel to Campo Quijano, known as the “Gateway to the Andes,” where our mountain biking adventure begins.
Upon arrival in Campo Quijano, we’ll begin our mountain biking adventure. Our route follows National Route 51 toward the spectacular Quebrada del Toro. Our first major stop is the impressive Viaducto del Toro, an iconic railway bridge built in the 1920s. Rising approximately 28 meters above the ground and stretching for around 250 meters, it offers a fantastic opportunity to admire the engineering and surrounding landscape while taking memorable photos. After a short break to hydrate and enjoy the scenery, we’ll continue cycling toward El Alisal railway station.
The return journey follows sections of the historic C-14 Railway, famously known as the route of the Train to the Clouds. This scenic stretch takes us through a tunnel and across the Viaducto del Toro, with spectacular panoramic views of the Quebrada del Toro. We’ll also pass a beautiful waterfall and the historic Gothic-style chapel of Río Blanco, built in 1914. After approximately 27 km (17 miles) of mountain biking, we’ll arrive back in Campo Quijano, completing our adventure.
After the bike ride, you’ll have the option to enjoy lunch or a snack in Campo Quijano at your own expense, or return directly to Salta City and be dropped off at your hotel or designated meeting point.

About Salta
Salta, a colonial city in a green valley of north-west Argentina, is the base for the Andean canyons, vineyards and high desert of the region.
Salta sits in the Lerma Valley at about 1,200 metres, ringed by green hills at the edge of the Andes. Its centre keeps Spanish colonial buildings around the Plaza 9 de Julio, among them a pink-fronted cathedral, the arcaded Cabildo and the Convent of San Bernardo with its carved wooden door. A cable car climbs Cerro San Bernardo for a view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Salta: Great Salt Flats (Salinas Grandes), Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo), Purmamarca.
