San Juan Gorges and Dams Tour
After picking you up from your hotel in San Juan at 2 pm, we will head to the Zonda ravine. This narrow land gully is flanked by the Marquesado and Chica de Zonda mountain ranges.
The tour continues with a visit to the Punta Negra dam viewpoint. This hydroelectric dam is one of the main civil infrastructures in western Argentina, inaugurated in 2015. It provides water to hundreds of thousands of people and is notable for its colossal size.
The route then proceeds to the Los Caracoles dam, also of significant size, capable of holding 565 cubic hectometres of water, equivalent to 56.5 billion litres.
Before returning to San Juan, we will stop at the Ullum Dam observation point, located on the edge of the Ullum ravine. While enjoying the landscapes, you will learn about the technical aspects of the hydroelectric plant, which has a capacity of 41 megawatts.
We will return to your hotel in San Juan, arriving at around 6 pm.
