Please note that if it is raining you must call us on the phone to pick you up at the route 12 before turning into the dirt road. The latter turns into an impenetrable mud trap and we do not want your car to end up there... Depending on the weather and how strong the storm is we can either look for you on a 4-wheel drive or in a tractor hauling a trailer. For the more adventurous we can also pick you up on horseback, the old fashioned way...

By Plane:

You can fly from Buenos Aires Aeroparque, the domestic airport, to Santa Fe or Parana. Once in the cities of Santa Fe or Parana you can either rent a car or we can arrange for a pick up at the airport. These are all extra costs not included in the rates of your stay at the ranch.

The option of renting a private aircraft and landing in the city of Santa Elena and pick you up over there, can be arranged. The cost is dependent on the number of guests, type of aircraft requested and flying distance. A private charter has many advantages, times are arranged to suit guests, and it is convenient for guests whose itinerary may require a transfer to a destination where direct scheduled flights are not available.
On arrival a representative of the ranch will meet guests.

By Helicopter:

This is an ideal mode of transport for guests arriving at Vizcacheras; although not much luggage can be transported. The trip from Buenos Aires lasts at the most one hour and it is really a panoramic flight through some of the finest scenery of Entre Rios.

Tips on Clothing & Others

e do recommend that you come with clothes suited for the bush, this means clothes that you wont care much if they get slightly damaged. Always a good pair of boots is a good idea, especially for there might be snakes in the bush, although this seldom happens, and they are also useful for horseback riding. Winters can be really cold and humid, zero degrees Celsius, and summers extremely hot, 30 degrees Celsius. In winter as soon as the sun raises the temperature can rise up to 18 degrees Celsius. Sun protection is always needed, even in some winter days. As we are in the southern hemisphere the ozone layer is thinner and the sun hurts more than it does in the northern hemisphere. At least a good UV 8 protection is needed. It is always advisable to travel with your bathing suit to these latitudes. If you have severe allergies frequently please don't forget to bring the appropriate medicines.
