EXPERIENCES

The Argentino Lake is the third biggest lake in South America. Surrounded by mountains and fed by giant glaciers, this lake astonishes with its immensity and special color. It was exactly that light blue color, the mountains covered in white and the light blue sky what motivated Francisco P. Moreno to name it “Argentino”. “Nativo Experience – Lakes and caves” is a 4x4 activity through the Argentino Lake’s shore, with an anthropological approach that tours man’s presence along the years in this region. The aim is to rediscover the first expeditions of the brave ones who dare to go into the unknown and how their first interaction with the natives was. Thus, among cliffs and views to the Andes Mountain Range, one personally feels the Tehuelche world along 20km. Stopping for taking pictures will help to go even deeper in typical flora and fauna details, as well as trying to understand the legacy left by those natives through their cave paintings. Imagination will be set free among chenques and awnings, immersed in thousands of years of history. On the lake’s shore, there are millennial caves where Tehuelche culture left its mark printed on the rocks to be read. After visiting them, participants finish the tour having lunch or dinner inside another big cave.

A unique experience in the heart of Agrelo, to discover the magic of wine from a different perspective, riding a horse through the captivating landscapes of one of the most renowned wineries in the region: Finca Decero. The experience begins with a guided horseback ride between rows of perfectly aligned vineyards at the foot of the majestic Andes Mountains. Mounted on gentle, well-trained horses, we will enjoy a relaxing ride while connecting with the land, the silence of the countryside, and the history of this exceptional terroir. During the tour, the guides will share details about the sustainable viticulture practices and the "de cero" ("from scratch") philosophy that inspires every aspect of their wine production: from the vineyard to the bottle. Upon returning to the winery, a carefully guided tasting of premium wines awaits us, accompanied by regional snacks that enhance every note of Finca Decero's Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and other emblematic varieties.
