Immerse yourself in a fascinating adventure where history and nature collide. Set among majestic cliffs and against the backdrop of the imposing Andes Mountains, this excursion invites you to discover the first encounters between expedition members and natives, opening the door to the mysterious and ancient Tehuelche world. Hidden on the shores of Lake Argentino are caves that protect the legacy of an ancient culture. Their cave paintings, engraved in the rock, tell us stories that time has not been able to erase. Aboard 4x4 vehicles, we'll cross the impressive 25 de Mayo Nature Reserve while our expert guide tells exciting stories about man's passage through these untamed lands. The tour takes us to the top of a lookout point, where you'll have the opportunity to capture a spectacular panoramic view of El Calafate, Lake Argentino, and the Andes Mountains. A living postcard that will stay with you forever! Punta Walichu, where the story unfolds: We head toward Punta Walichu, a unique archaeological site. On foot, we'll walk a 500-meter path with our guide, exploring cave paintings and learning about the techniques used by the Tehuelche people to capture their art on the rocks. The adventure culminates in a cave nestled in this fascinating archaeological site. Here, with Lake Argentino stretching out before us, we'll enjoy a delicious three-course lunch or dinner (depending on the time chosen). An unbeatable conclusion to an experience that will authentically connect you with the region's early explorers. Experience history, feel nature, and discover the essence of a culture that still pulsates in Patagonia. Notes: Some hotels in the city are not included in our pickup itinerary.
