A Must-Do archaeological tour!

5.00This experience was spectacular, almost like an archaeology class led by Sergio, a true expert. Seeing the massive rock formations shaped by glaciers and exploring the caves was incredible. And when we reached the cave paintings and imagined their meaning, it was deeply moving. The lunch inside the cave was unforgettable, honestly better than any safari experience in Africa. This tour should be a must-do on any trip to El Calafate.
Great great great

5.00We booked this trip not really knowing what to expect other than we wanted to see more of El Calafate. We LOVED it. Nacho was a fantastic guide and driver. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and also about the history of Argentina in general - really interesting and good company. We saw fossils, burial sites, huge skies, vast landscapes and of course guanacos. We took the afternoon trip and finished the day off with dinner (amazing lamb stew, we had two portions) wine and gentle jazz music at the gaucho house hosted by Claudia. Thank you Nacho for making our trip so fun and interesting!
