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 area of the Argentine province of San Juan, we will visit the Hongos de Tocota (Tocota Mushrooms) rock formations. These sandstone rocks, shaped by erosion, resemble giant mushrooms, with most between 30 and 50 feet tall.

During the route through the Barreal-Rodeo depression, we will observe various forms of these rock mushrooms. Standing next to these stones, you will hear about the natural processes that shaped them.

We will take a break for a country lunch that includes several regional specialties. After lunch, we will return to Barreal, stopping for a light snack in the open air while enjoying more Andean landscapes of San Juan.

We will arrive back at your hotel at 7 pm.
