Description:
Uspalyata Valley is a piece of greenery among the mountains, filled with secrets and imbued with a historical spirit. Located between two streams, this valley seems to be detached from the surrounding world – the contrast between its brightness and the surrounding calm gives it even more charm.
Over the years, it has been a staging point for people traveling from Chile to Argentina, or vice versa. So today a small town-name of the valley is ready to shelter everyone who wants to visit a historical place. For tourists, it has everything your heart desires: shops, a bank, restaurants with a beautiful barbecue, nightclubs, as well as ski equipment rental.
But if you forget about civilization, the valley quickly draws into its world. Taking a horse into your satellites, you can take a walk and enjoy the views of snow-capped peaks and green plants at the same time, visit the caves with the mysterious Inca petroglyphs. According to legend, in these places the Indians went into trance – this fact attracts supporters of the theory of energy fields.
Well, those who just like to relax in nature, enjoy climbing the mountains, fishing, clean mountain air and walks to the Inca bridge and the monument of Christ the Redeemer.
Indian myths, extreme sports, historical monuments and urban comfort - Uspalyata Valley has absorbed all the charms of any holiday.
