The Argentino Lake is the third biggest lake of South America.

In fact, it was its celeste color accompanied with the white-snow covered mountains that encouraged Francisco P. Moreno to baptize it as Argentina territory. Others had arrived far before him, and many more arrived after but could never get passed the river Santa Cruz. This was the case for Darwin and Fitz Roy, whom both abandoned the odyssey of the endless landscapes.
Nativo Experience – Lakes and Caverns is a half day excursion in a 4x4 bordering the Argentino Lake coasts. This is the ideal excursion for your arrival or departure date from El Calafate.
