The truck ride is exciting but not dangerous. It is a great way for both adults and children to connect with nature in a fun and different way.

We visit a natural nesting area known as the Condor Sanctuary, so the chances of sightings are very high and it is one of the main attractions of the tour. However, as these are animals in their natural habitat, we cannot guarantee 100%.

The entrance fee to the Villavicencio Nature Reserve is paid separately directly at the entrance. This is because rates may vary and there are often different prices for Argentine residents and foreign visitors. Managing it this way allows us to always offer you the correct and transparent price.

We recommend wearing closed and comfortable shoes, such as trekking shoes or sneakers. Dress in layers, as the weather in the mountains can change. Don't forget a windbreaker jacket, sunscreen, hat and sunglasses, even on cloudy days.
