Services

We work side by side and in a complementary way with providers and rural producers for the benefit of all components of the local tourism production chain. In addition to working with active tour guides, site guides, and tour hosts.

Altitud Norte was born in 2003, as an initiative of Mónica Rodriguez and Marcelo Celentano, a group of young professionals in tourism, for providing high quality adventure tourism services in a unique environment like Tilcara.

Rural community tourism is an effective tool to contribute to the economic and social development of local communities, as it is a catalyst for inclusion and sustainable development for destinations. These projects are based on a solidarity economy, on the transition of knowledge, cultural revitalization, as well as promoting integration. The average duration of these visits is between a full day or overnight visits of between 1 or 2 nights in adapted destinations with community inns, or family houses adapted to receive travelers.

We are proud of the deep knowledge we have of the Region and of all aspects related to its geography, its landscapes, its culture, its history, its biodiversity and its Nature. In every corner you can discover new adventures and life experiences.
