The region's silence lets you connect with a wild ecosystem full of life. Looking up at the sky often means catching the majestic flight of the Andean condor cutting across the high peaks. Along the streams and forests, birdwatching reveals the rhythmic knocking of the Magellanic woodpecker or the elegance of the upland goose. Extending your day into an observation outing lets you capture, camera in hand, the essence of a Patagonia that still belongs to its animals.
See who offers this experienceThe landscape of Río Pico invites you to walk between two worlds. Here, the vastness of the Patagonian steppe suddenly merges with the mystical Andean forest. Breathe the clean air as you walk beneath the shade of towering lenga and ñire trees, their colors bursting into red and orange each autumn. Every trail reveals hidden wildflowers and carpets of green moss that turn the surroundings into a completely untouched natural refuge.
There's no more authentic way to explore Patagonia than from the saddle of a criollo horse. This experience takes you to the most inaccessible corners, crossing fast-running rivers and climbing to hidden lookouts where 4x4 trucks can't reach. Adding a horseback ride to your itinerary is the perfect way to round out a full day of adventure, connecting the passion of fishing with the traditions of the old mountain horsemen.
