Embark on a remarkable journey to the Pampa de Achala, where you'll discover one of Córdoba's most breathtaking natural balconies.

Starting from the picturesque town of La Cumbrecita, we'll climb Cerro Wank, which offers stunning panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains. The adventure continues through a high-altitude terrain, traversing solitary pampas and crystalline streams.

Our ultimate destination is the Balcón del Yatán, a prime viewpoint that gazes over the ravine and its awe-inspiring waterfalls, presenting an unforgettable natural spectacle.

Tour Description

The journey starts at the entrance bridge to La Cumbrecita, a charming mountain village known for its pedestrian streets and alpine allure. Upon crossing the Historic Center, the path gradually ascends to the top of Cerro Wank, which stands at an impressive 1,620 meters above sea level.

With a 260-meter elevation gain, the trail offers progressively sweeping vistas of the Cordoba mountains. Once at the peak, the route heads northward into the expansive and tranquil Pampa de Achala. This area, characterized by highland grasslands and pristine waterways, imparts a sense of solitude and peace.

The trek proceeds to the Balcón del Yatán, a prime lookout that offers breathtaking views of the Yatán River gorge and its main waterfalls. The vastness of the scenery encourages you to pause, explore the vicinity, and savor a picnic lunch outdoors.

Following the break, you retrace your steps along the same path, providing an opportunity to experience the landscape from a new angle and finish the adventure with one final appreciation of the mountain's splendor.
