In February 2020, we had a very memorable tour of the Museo Paleontológico Ernesto Bachman, including Villa El Chocón, the dam and surrounding area. I would highly recommended this tour operator. Juan Manuel is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming. We were very lucky to have his daughter translating from Spanish to English. Great people! Great tour!

This Tour is totally unique! We take the traveler as a companion on the motorcycle ("Mototaxi" style). Or if you had a motorcycle, we will guide you through the region. It is totally new! There are no motorcycle tours of that kind in the entire region. It is a totally new way of observing nature, of living, seeing and smelling landscapes. To feel the wind, to feel the smells. To be able to feel the curves of a route or the 360 vision (towards the sides and up and down). Riding a motorcycle is living nature from the inside. This excursion has all the adventure that involves riding a motorcycle. It is totally unique. I am the pioneer of this new idea in the region and I am very happy about that.

Inclusions: Mate and Cookies, Motorcycle helmet, gloves and coat if necessary

Nice location and pretty sights. Be prepared to pick up tickets from the agency ahead of time, then you’re just one of many (100?) people on the excursion. If possible, buy the boat ride tickets from the ferry terminal and save $$$.

Whole experience was great, bit of confusion with the pickup but the whole ranch and horseback riding experience was amazing, views not to be missed, highlight of my South America tour. Guides are quite quiet due to language barrier so try keep up with an English speaking guide if necessary but didn't take from the views and scenery.
