Important Information

  • Between the months of April and August, access to the El Yeso Reservoir vantage point requires a walk of approximately 20 minutes, depending on the physical condition of each passenger, due to the seasonal conditions of the path. Important: This is not a high-intensity trek; it's a hike at a normal pace so that the whole group can move together and no one is left behind. This full-day experience lasts approximately 10 hours. To enjoy the tour more comfortably, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing, a warm jacket, suitable walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle. The exact pick-up time will be provided the day before the sightseeing tour, after 5:00 PM, and may vary depending on the location of the accommodation, traffic conditions, and route planning, in order to guarantee the best possible experience.
