VISIT KINTI TOISÁN

Kinti Toisan Reserve is primarily focused on developing research programs, expeditions, and scientific tourism. In this regard, a support program has been implemented for researchers interested in conducting scientific studies in the reserve, which must align with our research lines and the requirements established for the area. Likewise, and depending on budget availability, the possibility of granting study scholarships will be considered.
