We leave from El Calafate to embark on an unforgettable tour. We will cross spectacular landscapes, starting with 33 km along provincial route No. 5 to the East and then 67 km to the North along the emblematic national route No. 40. During the journey, you will witness the majesty of Lake Argentino, the Santa Cruz River, the La Leona River and its picturesque valley, all framed by a privileged view of the Andes Mountains, with the iconic Cerro Fitz Roy as a backdrop.
Historic stop at Hotel La Leona
We will make a brief 15-minute stop at the charming Hotel La Leona, a site steeped in Patagonian history, before continuing to Lake Viedma and the slopes of Cerro Los Hornos. This point, at Estancia Santa Teresita, will be our portal to the impressive world of the Petrified Forest.
Exploration and walk among ancient fossils
Around noon, you will witness the first sight of an astonishing natural depression that houses petrified logs and fossil remains from the distant past. Our guided walk will take you through a unique landscape, where you will discover gigantic fossilized trunks up to 1.20 meters in diameter, witnesses of a time when this region had exuberant flora. You might even find fossil remains of dinosaurs, revealed by the wind in this protected terrain.
Outdoor lunch
We will pause in the middle of this fascinating place to enjoy a box lunch outdoors, consisting of a delicious ham and cheese sandwich, salad, fruit, muffin and water.
A unique landscape and pleasant climate
The natural depression and protection of Cerro Los Hornos create a microclimate in the steppe, with generally dry and pleasant conditions. The tranquility of the environment invites you to connect with the history and immensity of Patagonia.
