> Day 1: Today we go south, passing the Gutierrez, Mascardi and Guillelmo lakes, through the valley between the Ventana Range and the Catedral (an important ski resort). After 65 miles of incredible views from mountains and lakes, we turn right to get into the heart of the Andes at the Paraje El Manso, very close to the border with Chile. It's a good place to relax and enjoy nature, but also we will have the oportunity (optional) of river Rafting (degree III+). We are going to spend the night at the beach.
