Stop At: Lago Argentino, El Calafate Argentina
It is a 4×4 midday excursion along the coast of Lake Argentino. Ideal for the day of arrival or departure, it has an anthropological approach, making a journey through time on the passage of man in these lands, re-discovering stories of the first and daring expeditions that ventured into the unknown. Between the cliffs and overlooking the Andes Mountains, the excursion focuses on the first contacts of those expeditionaries with the natives, and then enter the Tehuelche world. On the banks of the lake are the caves where thousands of years ago that culture left its marks on the rock and that today introduce us to its interpretation. Once the tour of the hotels is finished, we begin a journey through the Patagonian steppe, when arriving on the shores of Lake Argentino our guides give a talk about the formation of the landscape of the place, about the fauna and the native flora. We will make an ascent to obtain an incredible panoramic image of the city and its surroundings. From there we appreciate the extension of Lake Argentino and the Andes Mountains. Then we walk the archaeological site on foot (500m) while interpreting the meaning of the rock paintings we see in the rocks and the techniques used to perform them. We end the tour enjoying a delicious Patagonian meal in an unforgettable location.
