EXPERIENCES

The tour is a journey through the Quebrada de las Conchas, where wind and water have carved, after many centuries, curious and odd shapes. You can observe their diverse geological formation and amazing scenery. It goes by truck to La Yesera and from there downhill biking is done.

This tour is a new attraction for visitors; it is an experience that can only be done in 3 locations around the World, and Puerto Madryn is one of them! The site chosen for Snorkeling with Seals is Punta Loma, nature reserve located 15 km approx from Puerto Madryn city and only 25 minutes by boat. All passengers will receive training Snorkeling including previous practice, done in FOLIAS shipwreck. Once completed and learned the skills we will approach the protected area of Punta Loma to enjoy this exciting activity. Existing regulations allow us to spend an hour in the area with a maximum of 18 people + the Instructor.

An entire experience that combines a 4x4 expedition, a photographic safari and the possibility of a moment of relaxation in an authentic Patagonian estancia “post”. Leaving from El Calafate, a short route takes us to the entrance to Estancia Huyliche; after passing through its main house, we enter "Estancia 25 de Mayo" natural reserve. The first stop is an old stone post where the first family of the ranch used to live and we will have a brief explanation about these first settlers and the beginnings of El Calafate. We continue the tour in the vehicle until reaching the "section", an authentic ranch located in the immensity of Patagonia, where we will make the second stop, to begin to spot native fauna. We make this third stop front of the exuberant fauna after leaving the vehicle and walking towards the herds of guanacos, with a fantastic interaction with nature. Later, we travel about 4 km in the vehicle until we reach a fossilized oyster deposit -which is 23 million years old-, and we will learn about the paleontology and geology of the place, discovering that the desert where we are was once covered by the sea. Immediately we continue the trail south to the Mirador del Centinela -hill of 1,500 meters above sea level- from where we get a stunning panoramic view of endless basalt walls. Here the fifth stop is made, where the moment of relaxation arrives to feel the wind and the Patagonian immensity. Finally, we return to the "section" where lunch or dinner is served in an authentic ranch post, before returning to El Calafate. The house has a spacious living room with a beautiful view of the 25 de Mayo hill.
