DESCRIPTION
This is an opportunity to be transported in a large, off-road 4 x 4 truck, up the nearby hills that form a high geographical wall on the southern side of El Calafate, and travel along the flatter areas reaching a height of 1,050 metres above sea level (aprox 3,000ft). The excursion will stop at various points where you will see a panoramic view over all of El Calafate and Lake Argentina. And, as long as the day is clear, you will also be able to see in the distance the summits of Fitzroy and Torre in El Chalten.
However, apart from the stunning view, you will receive an informative explanation about how the various geographical rock formations were made and a general history lesson in the incredible geography of the entire area.
There is also an option to ride quad bikes during the excursion – but for this please ask us first.
NOTE: Due to the altitude there are many places that have vertical drops close to where passengers get out of the vehicle. Those who suffer from vertigo should NOT consider this excursion and those who participate and go with children need to be fully aware that there are danger spots.

with biscuit (cookie) for the 15:00hrs excursion.
The length of the traverse is about 35km from start to finish and in time takes about 2hr to 3hrs.
