NATIVOS EXPERIENCE
Travel back in time thousands of years to know the first inhabitants of the area.
Learn about the Tehuelches way of life
This is a half-day excursion, in which you travel in 4×4 vehicles along the cliffs of Lake Argentino, within the Nature Reserve 25 de Mayo. This activity offers a historical approach to the passage and contact of the first explorers with the Tehuelches. It is ideal to do on the arrival or departure day.
We will depart from El Calafate on an exciting 4×4 journey along the shores of Lake Argentino and culminate in the cliffs sector in front of it from where you can see the Andes and get magnificent views of the surroundings.
We will continue our tour to the Punta Walichu archaeological site where, through a walk of approximately 500 m, we will observe and interpret with the guide the cave paintings that we will see on the rocks and the different techniques that were used to make them.
Finally, we will arrive at one of the caves located within this archaeological zone, with impressive views of Lake Argentino, where we will enjoy a unique lunch/dinner in a natural setting that takes us back thousands of years.
