SITE ACCESS RULES
Always close (and lock, if required) gates after
passing them. This rule applies even if you know that you or someone else
will be passing that same gate shortly afterwards. Always make sure that
the gate is well closed and cannot open accidentally.
Keep a reasonable speed limit inside private
grounds, be careful if you are crossing cattle grazing areas.
Use existing tracks, try to minimize cross-country
and off road driving unless really necessary (notice that there is always
one most-used access to each tank!). This will diminish the ecological
impact on the ground.
Avoid driving along muddy tracks, as they might
deteriorate rather soon.
PARTICULAR CONSIDERATIONS
NEA 01-02-03-06-07-08-09-10-16-17-21-22-31-32:
located inside El Chacay Farm, along El Chacay road. The Auger Collaboration
has a key for accessing these grounds. However, before entering El Chacay,
inform persons in charge of the Estancia (Cacho Egea). Avoid contacting
them during siesta time or on weekends (you may let them know before
if you plan to enter the site at that time).
NEA 18-19-34-35-36-37: on Vallejos-Pavés
grounds. To enter El Chacay Farm, same considerations as above. To cross
the fence to the Vallejos and Paves grounds (beyond El Chacay) you will
need to ask for the key for "Lindero de Piedra"-gate at El Chacay. Remember
to return this key on your way back.
NEA 33: on Jaque grounds. Same considerations
as above, then cross fence (no lock) to the Jaque grounds.
NEA 20: On Vallejos ground, but south
of Mocho river. Access via El Chacay (see above). The key for the southern
gate to Vallejos is at the Puesto Mendez, Mr. Palavecino has one copy of
it. Return the key on your way back.
NEA 4-11-12-13-14-29-30: Access along
the road starting across El Chacay administration. No locks, but inform
at El Chacay if you enter
their farm. Be careful with electrical fence at the end of main
entrance road.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Do not forget the following basic safety rules when entering the site:
Cell phone, backup person, warm clothing (even
in summer!), GPS (make sure you know how to use it) and torchlight with
FRESH batteries, shovel if driving to difficult areas, one or two wooden
boards, DRINKING WATER in large quantities and First Aid Kit.
