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.

The journey begins by leaving the city of Ushuaia, on a route of approximately 75 km towards Puerto Almanza. We traverse glacial valleys adorned with towering snow‑capped peaks, winding rivers, lagoons and peat bogs: a unique visual spectacle. We arrive at the home of local fishermen who will be our hosts for this authentic experience: they will guide us through the entire process, from preparation to the culmination of the king crab harvest. With the assistance of the experienced guides, we ready ourselves to embark in the boat and explore the local fish farms. During the roughly 15‑minute navigation, we will have the thrilling opportunity to haul the nets and collect our own king crabs, which will then be our lunch. Back at the cozy restaurant of our fisherman‑hosts, we will enjoy a delicious three‑course lunch: it begins with the “Beagle Dip”, followed by the exquisite king crab, and concluding with dessert. After this day at the “end of the world”, we begin our return to Ushuaia.
