The rolling yellow fields of coirón, offer the perfect backdrop to the lake.

We will then cross the Patagonian steppe towards the entrance of the National Park. The native tree species, belonging to the “Nothofagus” family, such as ñires, cherry trees, lengas and Canelo, and many different colourful flowers like the stunning red “notro” are native to this Patagonian Andean forest. We will head to “the curve of the sighs”, and our first view of the Perito Moreno glacier.
