Description of the excursion
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Esquel/Trevelin in the afternoon and head towards a stunning natural setting. The first part of the day is up to you: you choose how to connect with the environment through one of our three available adventure activities (depending on the season):
- Snowshoeing: A magical experience to float on the white blanket of the Patagonian winter.
- Hiking: To explore the wooded trails and breathe the pure mountain air.
- Ride: I felt the freedom to explore the landscapes like a true Patagonian pioneer.
As the sun sets, we'll travel to the exclusive Lago Rosario Lodge, located just 48 kilometers from Esquel. There, you'll receive a warm welcome in a heated, enclosed space, ideal for relaxing while our expert guides introduce you to the secrets of the cosmos.
The night will reach its peak when we step outdoors. Far from any light pollution, the sky above Lago Rosario will unfold before your eyes in all its splendor. You'll learn to recognize constellations, stars, and the myths hidden in the skies of the Southern Hemisphere on a guided astrotourism experience that will leave you breathless.
To crown an unforgettable night, we will enjoy a gourmet dinner with drinks included at the lodge, sharing anecdotes in the warmth of Patagonian hospitality before heading back to your accommodation.
