The regulations of the Ministry of Tourism on the legalization of vehicles to offer Adventure Tourism, All Terrain modality, which could not be enabled, and was included in particular for certain routes, on internal roads, without passing through national routes. We will seek to reinforce with specific courses in defensive driving, first aid, for performance in this type of areas, among several issues.
EL CHUBUT spoke with the person responsible for carrying out the proposal and owner of the Catalejo Travel travel agency, Verónica Flombaum, who commented on the objective sought with the regulations: “Begin to amplify the options that tourists have, and know what we can offer much more in Puerto Madryn and the area, so that visitors can spend a week doing activities. My interest is to reinforce this issue, and turn to alternative and adventure tourism. Doing it safely and responsibly, this support will serve a lot to establish this activity in the area.”
“With this proposal, what I am proposing is to take excursions in areas around Puerto Madryn, which those of us from the city use a lot, recreationally on the weekends, when we go out for a barbecue or spend an afternoon on beaches that are paradisiacal” added the tourism businesswoman. There are two trucks that it has to provide the service, Land Rover models, from the mid and late nineties of the last century and they are also an attraction in themselves.
Verónica stressed that the excursion is carried out in a personalized way, with groups between 5 and 7 people, with the vehicles enabled and prepared to cross said terrain, where in addition, “we share, a topic, a coffee, a wine, a snack, and offer that “That for a person from Madrid is everyday, but for someone from another place it is shocking.”
Routes to enable
“Our strongest excursion is to show the southern area of the city, we use the roads from Punta Cuevas, visiting beaches, and dunes, passing through Punta Este, Paraná until reaching Cerro Avanzado. We make stops, we talk about history, geography, flora, fauna, a lot of information is given, apart from sharing a pleasant moment,” Verónica explained, and they also offer in the El Doradillo area, to finish with the coastal sightseeing of Southern Right whales.
In relation to the new regulations signed in the Province, in the case of Puerto Madryn the two routes described above will be presented so that they are formally authorized by the Ministry of Tourism and Protected Areas, an issue that will be sent in the coming days given that they have just received the necessary documentation to complete.
Regarding the possibility of adding new routes in the city and the area after the signing, Verónica was optimistic. “Yes, absolutely, as long as we base ourselves on the requirements they present to us. “The possibility of adding more and more options, circuits and a portfolio of diverse excursions for tourists is always open.”
