Brava Lagoon Trip

Join us to discover the fascinating landscapes in La Rioja on this trip to the Brava Lagoon. A combination of reddish deserts, salty lagoons and a huge variety of native animals await you.

Options

Both options include pickup and drop-off at your hotel in La Rioja, transport in a 4x4 and an English-speaking guide. The following explains what is involved in each option:

8.5 hour tour

We'll leave La Rioja to visit the northern province, starting at Quebrada de la Troya, where we will see dinosaur footprints in the rock. Continuing to Quebrada Santo Domingo, we'll explore mountain refuges built between 1862 and 1874 following the Army of the Andes.

Next, we will head to the Brava Lagoon Provincial Reserve, a saltwater lake high in the Andes on the border with Chile. We will observe wildlife such as vicuñas, guanacos, flamingos and Andean seagulls. From the Brava Lagoon Viewpoint, we will visit the Gulf of Flamingos and see these birds closely, as well as the remains of an aircraft that made an emergency landing in 1964.

We will return to the hotels after 8.5 hours.

10 hour tour

The 10-hour tour includes all activities from the 8.5 hour tour and adds a visit to the Brava Lagoon geysers, where we will see ochre-colored mounds surrounded by salt and experience the strong smell of sulfur.

Important

Consider that these activities take place between altitudes of 2500 and 4500 metres (8200-14763 feet).
