ECOTOURISM TOUR OPERATOR

 

 

Welcome to Opentravel. We are a group of people with a passion for nature and travel. Our aim is to offer sustainable tourism supporting the rural economy. This is the reason why we believe that Opentravel is not only for our guests but the local people in the mountains, their rivers, lakes, fauna and flora. Come discover the magic region of the Puelo River valley, with its ancient forests, gorgeous lakes and rivers and hospitable rural inhabitants. You will experience remote life just as they do, traveling the remote trails and waterways. We organize horseriding trips and trekking all over the Lakes Region.
