Río Noque Waterfall
Discover a crystal-clear waterfall in the Yungas circuit in the Argentine North.
Do you know the San Javier mount? Here your adventure gets going. Travel 10 kilometers from Cristo Bendicente. Leave your vehicle and continue your journey on foot. Enjoy every step as you move forward along a jungle trail. Listen to the singing of birds. Fill your eyes with the intense green of the vegetation. As you cross the Noque river, you’ll find the treasure: a transparent waterfall.
Open your senses. Breathe the pure air. Relax to the sound of water falling. Watch the water spring from a fracture in the hill, slide down the rocks, and flow up to a stream with a stone bed. Feel the coolness of an atmosphere that will make you feel a part of nature. Watch the butterflies hovering among the trees. Enjoy this ride in the Sierra San Javier Park. Live all this in the province of Tucumán.
