Afterwards, we will head to the Arnaldo Tupiza Breeding Center, where you will be able to observe two of the five subspecies of giant tortoises that are under the care of park rangers.

The eggs are collected at the breeding center, where they are incubated. After five years, when they reach the appropriate size to survive in their natural environment, they are released.
