Campo de Piedra Pómez is a protected field of ignimbrite sculpted into pale walls and corridors above the Catamarca Puna.
A registered local guide handles the remote approach and keeps walking to durable surfaces rather than damaging the formations.

Experience FAQ
Cross Campo de Piedra Pómez with a Puna guide
Q01Why is a guide necessary?
The protected area is remote, the tracks are unmarked and local rules require controlled access from the El Peñón area.
Q02How much walking is involved?
Walking is usually short but takes place above 3,000 meters on uneven volcanic ground, so altitude matters more than distance.
Plan with Alex
Plan Campo de Piedra Pómez
Follow Patagonia toward the ice, or take the northern road from vineyard shade to Iguazú's thunder.
Tell me which landscape you keep returning to, and we will build the right Argentina journey around it.
I would travel south for whales, lenga forests and glaciers calving into blue water. I would turn north for Mendoza's vineyards, the white deserts of the Puna and the roar of Iguazú. Both deserve a journey of their own.
