What our travelers think about their stay

San Antonio de los Cobres is a small mining village that is typical of North West Argentina. The famous Train to the Clouds goes through the village.

My suggestion

Watch out, the temperatures in North West Argentina are extreme. There can be a difference of more than 30°C between the day and the night. So don't forget your jumper, or even your down jacket!

My suggestion

If you leave for Argentine lands during the summer holidays and want to go to this village, plan to visit during the first weekend in August during the Feast of the Pachamama (or Mother Earth).
