EXPERIENCES

Quebrada de las Conchas (Shell Ravine) is a magical place where the wind and the water have carved, after many centuries, very curious forms. We will see its very diverse geological formation and incredible landscapes. Departure by car from Cafayate towards the Quebrada de las Conchas; during the journey we will stop to contemplate the most relevant forms of the rock, such as the Garganta del Diablo, El Anfiteatro, El Obelisco, El Sapo, Los Castillos and others. Then the trek is about an hour –moderate difficulty. On the way back to Cafayate we will make a last stop to take a short walk to the Calchaquí River.

Adventure and adrenaline come together in this active tourism experience, where the visitor is not only a spectator, but lives in direct contact with nature. The rafting excursions are carried out on the Corcovado River and can be adapted to the experience and available time of each visitor. It is a unique opportunity to carry out an adventure sport enjoying the contemplation of the canyons that cut the Cordillera de los Andes. Corcovado River presents Class II and III difficulty and is the ideal place for rafting without having previous experience, because in each raft or “gomón” there is a guide who gives instructions for navigation and knows the area widely. Likewise, each person has their own safety equipment that includes a life jacket and helmet; the rafts are usually accompanied by a safety kayak.

By national route 237 with direction to the east we arrive to the Limay River, where the typical landscape of the patagónic steppe is observed. At this point there is the detour that takes National Route 231 to Villa La Angostura, a route that involves skirting the Huemul Arm of Lake Nahuel Huapi, where the traveler will be surrounded by cypress forests, which will gradually give way to the forest damp. The Villa is located on the north coast of Lake Nahuel Huapi and has different attractions: The ports in Bahía Mansa and Bahía Brava, the historic presidential residence El Messidor, and the La Asunción Chapel. Return to San Carlos de Bariloche. Only in Winter Season (June to August): you will enter Cerro Bayo, where you will have the possibility of taking a lift to get to know the slopes of skiers and paradores on the mountain.
