The site was known for its sulphuric hot springs that were believed to cure certain illnesses. A railway station was also built but was destroyed and abandoned due to unfavourable climatic conditions. The abandoned railway station has been transformed into a mountaineering museum by a group of Argentine mountaineers. Full of history, mystery and beauty, Puente del Inca is truly a great stop for hikers, mountain climbers or travellers who just want to laze around and marvel at nature’s wonder.
