A thoroughly nice and knowledgeable young mountain guide was assigned to our bus and boat tour on Feb. 20th, when splendid weather made this excursion through the solitary Patagonian landscape an eye-candy with vistas of Fitz Roy on the way to the boat landing on Lake Viedma and a spectacular lake-bound trip to the glacier.

"Cueva de las Manos" takes you back in time to a moment in history when aboriginal tribes devoted their time and effort to illustrate their daily lives, their rituals and beliefs on the walls of the gorge. It is certainly a very interesting visit, not only for the cultural aspect of it, but also due to the impressive landscape where the paintings are displayed. Totally worth visiting!

Beautiful small city in the middle of the Argentine Patagonia, full of good restaurants, wide avenues, outdoor activities, parks, gentle people, views to the Andes mountain range, lakes and wide open range. We used this city as the entrance point to visit and navigate the Glacier Park lakes and see Perito Moreno Glacier from lake view. In short, one of the best travel experiences I have had in my life, is likely I will re-visit sometime soon.
