Itinerary
Tour of the coast of Lake Argentino, which stands out as the largest lake in Argentina. The history of the place leads us to remember the journeys of explorers like Francisco Pascasio Moreno, who baptizes the Lake as Argentino. Climbing the cliff Punta Bonita appreciates its magnitude, the mountains of the Andes Mountains and the landscape around El Calafate.
We visit the archaeological area called Punta Walichu where you can see cave paintings on the walls of the caves, made by the natives thousands of years ago. Through the interpretation of the paintings you can understand the way of life and culture of the Tehuelche community. The visit ends in one of the caves, where we offer a lunch or dinner overlooking Lake Argentino.

Beautiful views, rock paintings, and a delicious dinner in a cave. It's worth it. Our guide was explaining, kind and patient
Muchas gracias por su valoración sobre nuestra experiencia. ¡Esperamos que se lleve lindos recuerdos! Saludos.
Incredible experience, the story about the natives is very cool, and dinner in the cave is sensational. I recommend taking the time when the sun sets, as there is an observatory that looks beautiful at this time. I just didn't like the vehicle, it makes a lot of noise on the ground road, and ends up making it difficult to understand what the guide is talking about. But it's not worth it.
Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback. Levaremos suas sugestões em consideração para melhorar nosso serviço. Boa viagem!
What an amazing experience! We were picked up on time and headed for the national park. The vehicle was comfortable with great views from all seats, the guide was a great driver and very knowledgeable about the area. And the food (and wine) in the cave!!!??? What a perfect day!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the experience; thank you for choosing us.
Unforgivable walk. It brings a different proposal from the other tours of El Calafate, and explores resorts with archaeological site, mixing stops in amazing landscapes, historical context and finish with a super tasty dinner in a cave. Very well drawn this idea that makes the tour a unique experience. Super recommend.
Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback; ficamos muito felizes que tenha gostado da excursão. Obrigado por nos escolher.
30 min drive 20 min over rough terrain. Guide ask if going to El Chalten say no. Talk 5 min about things do in El Chalten. Stop take pictures Lake. See a couple paintings on wall. Though be lots more. Go to a cave for dinner. Some kind meat (ok) in stew, wine or OJ and pudding with fruit. Not worth $100 for a $25 dinner

This experience is great! They took us to a viewpoint first and then to the cave. Before you enter they give you a historical explanation and then it is a dinner in the cave with a view that you cannot miss. The guide I played, Aye, was super friendly and friendly. Like all the others on the team that also includes Pablo. The meal was a pumpkin soup and then a lamb stew followed by a dessert. I recommend it!!
We went to the caves and had dinner in the cave and had one of the best sunsets of our life. And also the dinner was delicious. Highly recommended.
A lovely experience to learn about the history, vegetation and lives of the people so many millions of years ago. Our guide, Mel, was amazing, so knowledgeable, kind and patient. The lamb stew was delicious!! A great way to experience the culture of the place.
