Important information
Tour Without Transfer
If you have chosen the tour without transfer, on the day of the activity, we’ll meet at the scheduled time at Camping Tierraventura, located at the following address: Río Manso, San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro, Argentina. You can view the exact meeting point at the following Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9nLKzGLAcsDuJt488.
How to Arrive By Car
Take Route RN40 towards El Bolsón for 70 kilometers (43.5 miles). After crossing the bridge over the Villegas River, you’ll reach a Gendarmería checkpoint on the road. This is your reference point to turn right onto Provincial Route 83. Continue for 27.5 kilometers (17.1 miles) along the marked dirt road, which will lead you to Camping Tierraventura, where your guide will be waiting for you.
As an additional reference, you’ll pass the last primary school, Primary School No. 92 “Wolf Schcolnik.” About 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) after that, you’ll find the entrance to the campsite. Your GPS may indicate that the destination is a few meters further past the entrance sign. If that happens, drive back a short distance and look for a narrow access road. Allow 2 hours from downtown Bariloche due to the dirt road.
