Tour Description
Our journey begins along the serene banks of the Mercedes River, as we gradually immerse ourselves into a stunning native forest of lenga and canelo trees. The ambiance becomes increasingly engrossing, enhanced by the natural sounds and scents of the forest that invite you to completely unwind. While traversing the trail, we will uncover a captivating hidden world of lichens, mosses, and fungi. Using magnifying lenses that can be attached to smartphones, we will observe astonishing shapes and colors usually invisible to the unaided eye.
Moreover, we will delve into the world of medicinal plants and their age-old traditional uses. During the appropriate season, you can also pick wild fruits and enjoy them straight from the forest, such as calafate or michay. With a bit of luck, we might catch sight of native birds like the Magellanic woodpecker, along with other avian visitors to the forest.
Our hike concludes at a picturesque waterfall, where we will pause at a natural viewpoint to rest. Here, we will ignite a campfire and share a delightful box lunch crafted from wild beef from the Estancia and carefully selected local ingredients. This is an ideal moment to unwind, capture photos, and appreciate the surroundings while fostering a connection with nature.
The trail is easy to navigate, making it perfect for those seeking a tranquil, family-friendly, and enriching adventure in the heart of Patagonia.
