What our travelers think about their stay
Tolar Grande is a little mining village at 4,000m altitude, nestled in the red and ochre mountains of northwest Argentina.
My suggestion
The village of Tolar Grande is at a high altitude. To avoid altitude sickness, I suggest you take it slow and, if needs be, chew cocoa leaves.

My suggestion
You can get there by yourself in the dry season via San Antonio de los Cobres, but you still need to take some precautions: a GPS, a good map AND some knowledge of mechanics, in case you break down, as there will be no one to help you for miles around!
