Critical response
The critical reception was mostly negative in the Argentine press. Adolfo C. Martínez wrote in La Nación that the film "was so short of imagination that does not resist the slightest analysis (...) If its makers though of a movie for children, they err their target...if they though of a movie for older audiences, nobody at an adult age can become captivated by the absurdities shown on screen".[2] Juan Villegas, from the El Amante del Cine magazine wrote that "there was an exciting story to be tell, but they forgot to shoot it".[3]
Accolades
Secret of the Andes won a silver Remi in the 2000 edition of the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival.[4] The movie was also nominated to best film in the 1998 edition of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival.[5]
