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.
> Day 2:
An early bath at the river is not a bad idea to start
the day with. After having a filling breadfast we
head south again. In the evening before getting to
the town of El Bolsón, it's time to go shopping!
we stock up on supplies. We'll continue our trip south,
it's time to change provinces, once we get to Los
Alerces National Park, we'll be in Chubut, living
Río Negro behind. These is the land where Butch
Cassidy and Sundance Kid spent part of their life.
We are going to spend the night at the amazing Lake
Verde, in a very equipped camping. We stay here for
two nights.
>
Day 3: We'll discover
the wonders of these National Park, by hiking trough
the Patagonian rainforest. Here is were the millenary
Alerce tree lives and also exuberant forest (optional
tour). Good posibillities for fly casting , canoing
or horse back ride. Our last night in the nature would
be a good time to share an "asado" (BBQ)
with patagonian lamb.
>Day 4:
After lunch we'll start our trip back but we are going
to take an other road, passing El Maiten a small town
were the Old Patagonian Express has it's garages,
will check that out.
