A unique opportunity to visit the in a different way, following the steps of the first dwellers of the area.

Spend 4 days riding through the most inhospitable corners of “Los Glaciares” National Park. After crossing valleys and forests and fording streams and grasslands, you will get sight of one of the world’s greatest wonders: the Perito Moreno Glacier.


Starting at Estancia Lago Roca we will ride up the Rio Rico river, which flows into a course of Lago Argentino and we will finally get to La Rosada stopping point, situated 500 m. away from the Chilean border.

At sunset, the spectacular stars of the southern hemisphere will cover the sky. The quietness of the place and the rounds of mate shared by the campfire create an ideal ambiance to revive the spirit of the old explorers and make new friends.






 
As we leave Estancia Lago Roca, we go upwards to a panoramic point that offers a fantastic view of the Perito Moreno Glaciar, 500 m. away from the Chilean border. We will spend the night camping in Bosque Magallanes (forest land).
After breakfast, we ride around the place before heading for a panoramic point in Macizo del Paine, where we will be awaited with a delicious lunch. After crossing through incredibly dense forests, we finally get to La Rosada post. (“Paso Zamora” ).
We ride up to have a look at the southern course of the Lago Argentino and the Andes range. Here we will observe the flora, fauna, geology and geography that characterize the place. Return to Estancia Lago Roca to enjoy an energizing mate in the campsite and spend the night.
 

You will take part in an exciting horse ride along the hillside of the “Cordón de los Cristales” mountain range, with a magnificent view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Enjoy an adventurous tour in the Magellan forest. After tasting a typical criollo beef for lunch, we will ride back along the coast of the lake, where we will do bird watching of indigenous and exotic species. We will finally arrive at the estancia to  conclude the tour.
