The tour culminates in the town of Calingasta, where its historic town center and the moving Cristo de la Misericordia (Christ of Mercy) await us, from where you can enjoy dreamy panoramic views. We return to San Juan in the afternoon, our hearts filled with unforgettable landscapes and experiences.
