    Feedback I would like to give a feedback on the tour to Actuel Canyon. We loved the Guide and the driver. And we'd have ⁇ the ride a lot more if we hadn't had the luck of being the last to pick up the van. That is why we have the last seats left in the last row. These are small seats, tight and almost windowless. The distance to the front seat is minimal. During the descent to the canyon, we could not see or hear even half of what the Guide was commenting on. It was extremely frustrating, and there was nothing we could do. Another passenger came to the point of taking a picture of what they were seeing to show us. The fact is that we paid the same as the other passengers who were sitting with space and window. And that's not fair. Anyone sitting in the back of the van has an uncomfortable and rather limited experience. And paying the normal price. There is no way to ignore the fact that this is a very big difference. Maybe you shouldn't sell the 4 seats in the bottom and charge a little more than the other places. Who goes to the bottom doesn't choose. The bottom line is that he chooses those who are collected last. And that was our misfortune. We came back with the feeling that we would have to go again to be able to enjoy the experience fully. Unfortunately.

    O Tour é repleto de paisagens deslumbrantes, tanto nas paradas, como no trajeto aos pontos, o que infelizmente é muito, muito longo e cansativo, talvez esses seja um dos ponto ruins deste passeio ficar muitas horas dentro de um ónibus para se descolocar para o Canyon e San Rafael. O outro ponto negativo talvez seja a parada na entrada do Dique, onde funciona um parque para esportes radicais, para quem quer fazer e pagar para isso, ficando meio sem opção se você não quiser aproveitar destas atividades, como nós que acabamos ficando em uma lanchonete comento empanadas e bebendo cerveja. Agora quanto as ao restante do tour e tudo muito bonito, desde o caminho ao topo Canyon, a visita externa a hidroelétrica, e até mesmo a parada para o lanche diurno e o noturno na estalagem rustica próximo de San Rafael, lugar que infelizmente somente passamos, e que poderia ser melhor visitado até mais que o parque sem graça. O guia Hugo foi prestativo, mas falava rápido demais, onde ele poderia dar uma desacelerada, mas de forma ampliada foi tudo bem, dentro do proposto, sinceramente até mais que imaginava ver.

    Es un precioso paseo, creo que podrían hacer paradas en puntos de alucinante belleza por algunos minutos más, no solo para una foto. El paisaje es increíble y merece unos minutos de contemplación

    Atuel Canyon, an encounter with nature, both the river and the dam. On the dam, kayaking between the mountain entrances is a must. Also the zip line over the water, and rafting, all recommended.

    Both San Rafael (city) and the Atuel Canyon are 10 points. To get from San Rafael to the Canyon there are 2 impeccable routes, it is convenient to go on one and return on the other. There are many cabins in San Rafael to stay.
