also the return journey is not included in our rates.
From Buenos Aires
to the community there are 17 kilometers of gravel road in regular

that you travel early, especially in the rainy season, the season when
the road can become slippery and difficult to drive on.
For travelers that like walking and adventure, you can get
to the Reserve by various routes; the walk is hard and requires good
physical condition (and sense of direction).
Communicate with the Foundation for more details.
