In Bermejo just ask of Vicente. He is a local authority in terms of wild trekking. He has a camping outside the town, nestled against the Amboro National park. We reached his house following the river but there is a dusty road if you travel by car. In his camping there is no electricity nor internet.

It's an archaeological site with Inca and spanSpa ruins. It's on the top of a mountai...
