During this trip, the offroad vehicle carries us into the wilderness of the Andes. In the past, these remote places could only be reached on old cattle tracks, on foot, or with a horse. We go and see little mountain villages, pass riders with their cattle, experience the magical mountain scenery of the Andes and plateaus from which you can overlook the country as far as 250 kilometres. Services: trip accompanied by German and English speaking guide, picnic, cool soft drinks. Duration: about 6 hours. Price per person: EUR 85 (lunch inclusive):

Let us show you the Indian caves of Pichaska which is an old Indian place of ceremony. You will find here the oldest traces of regional human settlement. Further, you can look at fossilized Araukarien (trees) and fossils of various prehistoric dinosaurs such as the tyrannosauros rex. Trip accompanied by German and English speaking guide. Duration: about 4 hours. Price per person: EUR 68 (no lunch).
