Itinerary

We'll begin our adventure with an exciting climb to the top of the hill that houses this natural treasure. As we ascend, breathe in the fresh air and admire the panoramic views that will amaze you. Discover a unique world: a Valdivian-type relict forest emerges in the middle of a semi-arid zone, creating an incomparable spectacle of biodiversity. The mysterious fog known as "camanchaca" awakens life in this oasis, allowing it to flourish in extraordinary climatic conditions. This park, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, is a true ecological treasure. Explore its trails, marvel at the flora, and look for the distinctive fauna that inhabits this region. After immersing ourselves in the beauty of the park, we head to El Arrayancito, where we'll enjoy a cold picnic lunch. Each site has rustic inns, as well as non-potable water basins, useful for cleaning utensils. Next to the snack areas are 6 restrooms for men and women.
