Activities and Excursions

Excursion to the Toro Lagoon:
Duration: 4 to 6 hours.
On horseback or fourtrax.
Around this lagoon, where there are usually flamingos, ducks and other wildfowl, there are also rock outcrops full of petrified molluscs. Continuing across the Tabia River valley, we see lots of petrified wood. Incredible views of the Andes form the backdrop of the entire excursion.

Horseback ride or hike to the cascade:
Duration: full day.
This excursion, which begins early in the morning, also takes us to Lake Quiroga and the headwaters of the Capitán River.

Capitán River valley excursion:
Duration: 4 to 8 hours.
Tranquillity, clean, untouched spaces, and glimpses of flora and fauna will accompany us throughout this hike along a winding valley.

Tucu-Tucu River valley excursion:
Duration: half day.
Leaving the Capitán River, we drive out on Provincial Route 35 in the direction of the Tucu-Tucu River valley and continue on 15 km through high- and low-beech forests. During the next 40 km, with incredible views of the Andes throughout, we may see condors gliding overhead.

Excursion to the Carrera River:
Duration: full day.
Returning to Route 35 and driving in the direction of the Alma Gaucha ranch, we begin to see forest after 20 km. During the drive, we follow the Ñire River and later ford the Mayer River and some small creeks. After driving several kilometres through the forest, we see an immense valley and continue on until we reach the Carrera River very near the border with Chile.
