Los Morillos Reserve Private Trip

At 10 am, we will depart from your hotel in Barreal in a comfortable off-road vehicle and stop in a beautiful Andean area at the foot of the Ansilta Mountain Range.

Located there, at an altitude of more than 10,000 feet, is the beautiful Los Morrillos reserve, where we will learn about the nature that surrounds us. Questions regarding the predominant plants and species adapted to these conditions will be addressed by the staff of the reserve, managed by Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina.

Next, we will trek for 45 minutes to the prehistoric caves of Los Morrillos, home to 8500-year-old cave paintings, among the few preserved in Argentina. Most depictions represent the sun or animals, with some abstract figures prompting various interpretations. You will hear about intriguing theories surrounding these artworks.

After visiting the caves, we will return on foot to the starting point, where a picnic featuring a typical Argentinean picada awaits. Afterward, further exploration of the special corners of this area of the Andes will take place before heading back to Barreal.

We will stop for a snack along the way before dropping you at your hotel at 6 pm.
