A beautiful experience. They take you by 4x4 across the steppe in the mid-afternoon while they tell you the history of Calafate and all its fauna and flora. We reached a point where we could appreciate the lake in its entirety, which gave us sightings of various birds. Then we toured the Tehuelche paintings and caves, where they told us how to interpret them and the history of that tribe in that particular area. And finally, we went to eat in a beautifully decorated cave with light and heating. They provided us with ponchos and served us guanaco stew with red wine and juices. Thank you so much for welcoming us and delighting us 🤍✨
We may have been lucky, because we did this excursion alone, but it was exceptional, with the guide, Fede and the nice effort to speak Italian, we had a lot of laughs, we saw a huge farm, indescribable landscapes and lived a few hours immersing ourselves in the real Argentina, not yet completely tailored to tourists, an experience to try, no one will ever be able to convey what you feel. For us it was one of the best excursions. Thanks also to Irene of Eurotour of El Calafate 😍
Foi maravilhoso! Uma experiência sensacional!
