Overview

  • A full-day excursion unlike any other in the area. The site lies in the middle of the Patagonian steppe, halfway between El Calafate and El Chaltén. Along the hike you will see a large number of petrified tree trunks lying on the surface, around 70 million years old, some of them up to 1.20 m in diameter. These remains bear witness to ancient times when the climate was very different from today and supported abundant, large-scale vegetation. Occasionally, fossil remains of different types of dinosaurs are exposed.
