Overview

This tour is not only a tour, but a real time travel that will connect you intimately with one of the most fascinating, dramatic and human episodes of the 20th century. On the first day, you’ll immerse yourself in the emotional stillness of Vallegrande, visiting the Memorial where Che’s body lay hidden for decades, and the historic Señor de Malta Hospital, where testimonies are kept in the old laundry converted into a morgue.

The adventure reaches its peak on the second day, with the scenic route to La Higuera. You will visit the rural school where it all ended and, above all, you will undertake a guided and conscious trekking through the mythical Quebrada del Churo. It’s not just a walk; it’s a physical and spiritual experience that puts you in the exact canyon of your last fight, allowing you to reflect on ideals and enjoy nature.
