To get to the adventure camp in Barinas, you have to get first to Barinas. Then you take the way to San Cristobal. It takes 60 km or about 50 minutes to get to the little village “La Acequia”. A tip to get to “La Acequia” (via San Cristobal): you will pass 3 metal bridges; 1st is "El Paguey", the 2nd is "El Canagua" and the 3rd is "La Acequia". Right after the bridge of “La Acequia”, (there is a police checkpoint. DON’T PASS IT) turn right. You will see a sign of “Guamanchi Camp 12 km”, painted on the wall of the hardware store. It’s a dirt track but in good conditions, almost flat. It is a 40 minute drive to get to the camp from La Acequia. You don’t need to have a 4x4 car to get there. If you don’t have a car, take a public transport to “La Acequia” and we will pick you up.
