Proposal

Wild Nature

Just 420 km from Buenos Aires, between Balcarce and Mar del Plata, a natural refuge for wildlife awaits us, with a large body of water and sierras up to 300 meters high.

The Balcarce sierras are part of the Tandilia system, which dates back to a time before the continents separated. They stretch in a crescent shape from Cabo Corrientes -Mar del Plata- to Sierras Bayas in Olavarría-Azul. The Laguna Brava range is dominated by plateau-like landforms, with a steep front facing north and a gentle slope toward the southwest.

The first white men to settle in this area were Jesuit missionaries in 1741, forced to leave a few years later by the chief Cangapol, also known as “el Bravo” (the Fierce One).

We'll go over the rest of the story over the course of the trip, during which we'll do a fascinating trek to the top of Sierra Brava, fun canoeing on this beautiful lagoon, and walks along a zipline and ropes circuit. The students always

Fui a Tres Picos con Mati y Fer de AEX. Todo sucedió como estaba organizado. Tanto los guías como Euge estuvieron disponibles desde el día 1 de la reserva para evacuar todas nuestras dudas y llegar de la mejor manera al trekking. Súper recomendable viajar con AEX.

Tilcara Calilegua es la travesía mas hermosa que hice, tiene unos paisajes maravillosos . La inmensidad en la montaña es increible. Pero lo que realmente lo hizo mágico fueron los lugares donde nos hospedamos, los compañeros de montaña y el amor y el cuidado de los guías. Euge y Gus estuvieron en cada detalle, pendiente de cada uno de nosotros, realemente ellos fueron el viaje. La comida increible. Agradecida eternamente con ambos..
