Refugio Los Volcanes
A private nature reserve ringed by red sandstone peaks, with an eco-lodge and several forest trails. A great place for birdwatching.
Refugio Los Volcanes lies about 30 km northeast of Samaipata on the edge of Amboró National Park. A ring of red sandstone peaks shaped like volcanic cones encloses a tropical mountain forest, creating striking scenery. The reserve has an eco-lodge where you can stay and walk several trails. Toucans, parrots, and monkeys are commonly seen. From the Bermejo junction on Route 7, a steep dirt road leads the rest of the way, usually requiring a four-wheel-drive vehicle or pickup from the lodge. It works well for an overnight stay or a day trip.
