Hongos de Tocota Private Trip

At 10 am, we will depart from your hotel in Barreal and travel by jeep to the surroundings of the Tocota River, nestled between the foothills of the Sierra del Tontal and the Andes.

In this region of San Juan, we will visit the Hongos de Tocota (Tocota Mushrooms) rock formations. These sandstone rocks, shaped by erosion, resemble giant mushrooms and range from 30 to 50 feet tall.

During the route through the Barreal-Rodeo depression, we will see various forms of these rock mushrooms. You will learn about the natural processes that shaped these structures over time while taking photos with them.

We will then take a break for a country lunch featuring several regional specialties. After lunch, we will return to Barreal with a stop for a light snack in the open air, enjoying more Andean landscapes of San Juan.

Finally, we will return to your hotel at 7 pm.
