Tour in 4x4 with cave paintings and food in a cavern from El Calafate

Description

🌄 Nativos Experience 4x4: Lakes, Caves, and Ancestral Flavors

  • A short journey with deep soul.

    Have you ever had lunch in a cave in front of a glacial lake, surrounded by ancient rock art?
    It's not a tale. It's pure Patagonia.

    You climb into a 4x4 and skirt the coast of     Lago Argentino, the largest in Patagonia. There are no marked paths or signs. Just steppe, silence, and the wind as your only guide.

    You stop at a hidden archaeological site. You walk a few steps and there it is: a cave with     cave paintings over 3,000 years old, witnesses of the passage of the first indigenous peoples.

    And right there, where time seems to stand still, a table awaits you by the fire.     A Patagonian lunch or dinner, inside the cave, overlooking the lake. With freshly baked bread, wine, and the crackling of wood as the soundtrack.

    It's not just an excursion. It's a connection with the landscape, history, and yourself.
    A Patagonia that is not seen from the road, and not forgotten upon return.
