Itinerary and highlights
We begin by looking for them at the hotels, leaving on National Route 3 to the north, towards the Lakes Escondido and Fagnano, our main objectives.
We make the first stop at the Mirador Valle Carbajal, where we can appreciate the peat bogs, with an impressive view of the mountain range and the mountain glaciers.
Stop at the Haruwen guitonerie and motorbike museum with tasting of Patagonian spirits of the area.
We will make a stop at the "La Herradura" viewpoint where we will have a magnificent postcard of Lake Escondido. Precisely, its name comes because it is in a deep valley, in the middle of the mountain.
In our 4x4 adventure, "off road", we will travel off-road circuits until we reach the La Carmen Post, Los Álamos Ranch where we will have a hot drink and we will take some walks along the shore of Lake Fagnano or inside the ranch, taking advantage of the trails that we will find there.
