Hiking and Natural Swimming at Purilibre

🌿 A deep sense of disconnection amidst water, stone, and silence

Enjoy an intimate, sensory experience at Purilibre, a little-explored corner of the desert where silence, water, and history intertwine. This journey invites you to reconnect with your surroundings and yourself, combining relaxation with mindful walking.

Located in the Puritama Reserve, the Puritama River welcomes us with its naturally warm waters, inviting us to enjoy a beautiful and relaxing stroll.

The excursion begins with a gentle hike along trails surrounded by native flora and pre-Hispanic archaeological remains. You’ll then arrive at some warm water pools, where you can take a natural dip surrounded by rocks, vegetation, and absolute tranquility. The setting is perfect for meditating, taking a deep breath, or simply letting yourself be carried away by the calm of the desert.

An ideal activity for those looking for an experience off the beaten path.
