Full description

Embark on a unique experience with the 4x4 Adventure: Lago Argentino, a tour that will take you through the history and the most emblematic landscapes of the region of El Calafate. This tour combines adventure, nature, history and local gastronomy, all in one experience.

Discover the Tehuelche Culture and the Incomparable Landscapes of Lake Argentino.

This tour starts from the lobby of your hotel, where you will be picked up by a high performance 4x4 vehicle to begin a journey through the magical Patagonian lands. The tour is designed to take you to explore the south of Argentina through three key stops, where you will learn more about the Tehuelche culture, the unique geography of the region and enjoy landscapes of incomparable beauty.

First Stop: Lago Argentino

The first stop is on the shores of Lake Argentino, the largest lake in Argentina and one of the most important natural attractions in Patagonia. Here, our expert guides will give you a fascinating explanation of the local flora, geology and glaciology of the region. You will enjoy panoramic views and learn about the natural processes that have formed this impressive landscape, as well as how Lago Argentino connects to Los Glaciares National Park.

Second Stop: Punta Bonita Cliffs

We continue to the Punta Bonita Cliffs, a must-see for all photography and nature lovers. From this high point, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Lake Argentino and the majestic Andes Mountains. This is an ideal place to capture unforgettable moments while enjoying the serenity and beauty of the surroundings. The contrast between the cliffs, the lake and the mountains creates a breathtaking panoramic view, difficult to find anywhere else in the world.

Third Stop: Punta Walicho Archaeological Zone

The last stop of the tour takes you to the Punta Walicho Archaeological Zone, where you can delve into the history of the Tehuelches, the ancient inhabitants of the region. Here, you will have the opportunity to observe cave paintings that tell the story of this original people and their profound relationship with the land and the natural elements. The guides will share fascinating details about the techniques and meanings of these paintings, providing a unique connection to the ancestral history and culture of Patagonia.

Lunch or Dinner in a Cave

To culminate this unique adventure, you will enjoy lunch or dinner in a special environment inside a cave. This natural space offers an incomparable gastronomic experience, where you will be able to taste traditional dishes of the local cuisine, prepared with fresh ingredients from the region.
