Discover the Serenity of Altura Botanical Garden

Getting There

• Car

  From the center of Tilcara, start by heading south on Avenida 25 de Mayo toward Calle Lavalle. Continue straight for about 1 kilometer. You will see signs for Altura Botanical Garden on your left. Turn left onto the dirt road and follow it for approximately 500 meters. The entrance to the garden will be on your right. Note that parking is available at the entrance. There is usually no entry fee, but donations are appreciated.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer using public transportation, look for a local bus that travels towards the outskirts of Tilcara. Buses usually depart from the main square or near the central market. Confirm with the driver that they stop at Altura Botanical Garden or ask locals for assistance. The fare is generally low (around 50-100 ARS). Once you reach the stop, it is a short walk of about 300 meters to the entrance of the garden. Be sure to check the bus schedule for return times, as service may be limited.

• Walking

  For those who enjoy walking, you can start from the main square in Tilcara. Head south on Avenida 25 de Mayo, then take a right onto Calle Salta, walking for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the junction with the dirt road leading to the garden. The walk offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and is a great way to experience the local scenery. The last stretch to the garden is on a dirt path, so wear comfortable shoes.
