Baritú National Park, the protected area belongs to the Yungas ecosystem.

With its rough profile crossed by torrential streams in the southern hemisphere summer season, green and diverse vegetation and assorted fauna, the Parque Nacional Baritú National Park is a truly natural world with its deep smell of leaves and wet soil.

An almost secluded place to the sunlight and man as well that reaches unknown magnitudes.

This is the Baritú Nacional Park, where the tropical forest goes all the way up to its highest peaks, and untouched nature rejoices itself in its unique specimens.

  1. ote that at this point you will reach an elevation of 3000 m above sea level, and that you will be heading up to the magnificent Cuesta del Obispo. As you climb toward the Cuesta, the landscape will become colder and more barren; also, fog is common in the area. The highest elevation is Piedra del Molino, at around 3300 m above sea level, the starting point of Cuesta del Obispo. Over a stretch of 20 km, the road drops some 2000 m to reach Chicoana, to then continue to the city of Salta.
