El Calafate Trip Overview

We can observe the Argentino Lake with its Round Bay.
In it you can see an important variety of birds.
In the first 40 km the Patagonian steppe is crossed, later passing the entrance of the National Park to observe the arboreal vegetation mostly belonging to the “notofagus” family (ñires, cherries, lengas) and the occasional cinnamon, and flowers of different colors, among which the notor stands out for its intense red color corresponding to the Andean Patagonian Forest.
