What to expect
You'll travel by 4x4 through rocky terrain and narrow tracks that open onto sweeping views of the river valley and surrounding hills. The guide explains how the park's ecology developed—the interplay of dry summers, heavy autumn rains, and the river's presence creates conditions for distinct plant and animal communities. Expect to stop at viewpoints where binoculars are useful for spotting eagles, vultures, and other species. The pace is relaxed, with time to absorb the landscape rather than rushing between spots.
Good to know
Bring water, sun protection, and binoculars. Wear sturdy footwear if you'll walk short sections. The 4x4 is essential—standard vehicles cannot access the park's interior roads. Service animals welcome. Infants must sit on an adult's lap.
