Optional Excursion Recommended: "Nativo Experience with Lunch or Dinner"

Lago Argentino is the third largest lake in South America, surrounded by mountains and nourished by giant glaciers, this lake never ceases to amaze its own and strangers for its immensity and special colour.

Was precisely that blue colour, the mountains covered in white and a celestial heaven also what motivated Francisco P. Moreno to baptize him. Other members of the expedition arrived earlier, and many more were on the road as they attempted to go up the Santa Cruz River. It was so in the case of Darwin and Fitz Roy, who abandoned the odyssey by the endlessness of the landscape and the fearful vigil of the natives.

It is an excursion in 4×4 along the coast of Lake Argentino. Ideal for the day of arrival or departure, it has an anthropological approach, making a tour at the time about the passing of man in these lands, rediscovering the stories of the first expeditions and daring 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 induce us to its interpretation. Finally, the excursion culminates in another cave where lunch or dinner is included that will transport us to those remote years.
