to La Serena Ovalle – Samo Alto – Pichasca – Seron – Vado Morrillos
The road conditions are good, 4x4 by no means necessary!
Leave the Pan-American Highway – drive out approx. 80km before La Serena - turnoff in direction of Ovalle – and drive into the village of Ovalle. In Ovalle follow the highway to La Serena.
On the highway to La Serena, about 3 kilometres after the city Ovalle, turn right and follow the signs "Samo Alto"/ „Seron“/ "Hurtado". After this junction, after about 100 minutes driving time over partly paved streets, you reach Vado Morillos.
In Vado Morillos, pass the wooden bridge over the Rio Hurtado river and turn left. Drive through the gate which is closed, please close it again, that our horses don’t run away into the Andes. Follow the way and after about 1500 meters you are in front of our gate: Corral los Andes.
