About the experience

The departure time varies depending on the time of year, so that we can take advantage of each place at the best time of the day. Regular hotel pickup time is around 9:30 am. Our first stop is the Rainbow Valley, known for its impressive colorful rock formations, which create one of the most striking landscapes in the region. After calmly exploring the valley, we continue towards Laguna Cejar, famous for its waters with approximately eight times more salt than the sea, providing a unique floating experience. The return is scheduled between 18:00 and 18:30 pm.

“Cris, thank you so much for guiding my wife and I through one of the biggest challenges of our lives. We are not athletes and have little experience on high altitude trails, and yet you guided us with confidence, attention and safety to the top of Cerro Toco. In addition to leading us with a lot of love, kindness and good conversation on the way there and back. I wish you and your wife much success in your journey leading On the Road. A big hug from Brazil!”
