Nature Reserve
✽ A Native Flora and Fauna Sanctuary
A Place Where Biodiversity Finds Its Refuge and Life Its Continuity
Committed to the heartbeat of the mountain valley where we live, we manage the Nature Reserve Quebrada del Palmar. Our work here not only consists of observing, but also of making sure that key endemic species are protected. We are a bridge between strict conservation and sustainable land use, making sure that this ecosystem remains a living legacy for the future.

Our Alliances for Conservation
Fundación BioAndina
We work with Fundación BioAndina by joining our reserve to a wide Network of Condor Sanctuaries to protect Nature. These sanctuaries are wildlife corridors for this endangered species that is also part of our continent’s cultural and natural heritage.
1% for the Planet
With the support of the Patagonia Environmental Grants Programme, we are building a Biological Station in the Nature Reserve Quebrada del Palmar to monitor, conduct research, and provide active protection to the Andean condor in the central mountain ranges of the province of San Luis.
Aves Argentinas
We are part of the Nature Reserves Programme of the Argentinian Birds Foundation, intending to develop collaborative actions to care for native birds and the Nature Reserve ecosystem.
