Itinerary and highlights
Lake Argentino is the third largest lake in South America. Surrounded by mountains and nourished by giant glaciers, this side dazzles everyone with its immensity and inexplicable color.
It was precisely this azure blue color, the mountains covered in white, and a sky also azure blue that motivated Francisco Perito Moreno to baptize him Argentino.
Nativo Experience is a half-day 4×4 tour along the coast of Lake Argentino. Ideal for the day of arrival or departure, it has an anthropological focus, in which we will travel through time, rediscovering the stories of the first expeditions and the men who ventured into the unknown.
Our first stop on this adventure will be on the shore of Lake Argentino where the guide will talk about the formation of the local landscape, as well as the fauna and flora native to this region.
