The 10 Best Things to do in Esquel, Patagonia
Esquel is a town in the northwest of Chubut Province in Argentine Patagonia. It is located in Futaleufú Department, of which it is the government seat. The town's name derives from one of two Tehuelche words. One meaning "marsh" and the other meaning "land of burrs", which refers to the many thorny plants including the pimpinella and other herbaceous plants whose fruits, when ripe turn into prickly burrs that stick to the animals' skins and wool or people's clothes as a way of propagation.

Our trip begins at Chucao port, situated on the southeast branch of Menendez lake, which is reached by traversing the footbridge over the Arrayanes river and then walking along the banks of the Menendez river. Once there, we'll get on board our boat and sail for about 40 minutes as far as Nuevo port, where we'll start a walk along a particularly beautiful trail.

Spent a pleasant Saturday travelling from Esquel on return journey. Although commentary was in Spanish the hostess provided us with an informative short audio guide in English and checked we were OK a number of times during the journey. Get to the station early and walk over to the engine shed and watch the engine being prepared -photos without the crowds too! No problem climbing into engine for photos either. Very helpful pleasant crew. At turnaround station we went into the dining car and shared an excellent toasted sandwich and homemade lemon pie served by a charming young lady. Delicious. A really good excursion.

If you want to feel at the end of the world, this certainly is the place to visit. A maximum of about 100 people a day can enter the island that is at the center of the park and were you will be able to see trees that are more than 2000 years old. You have the chance to walk around the island and the boat trip there is stunning. Not to be missed if you find yourself closeby!
