Overview

This is a whole day excursion very different from the rest in the area. The site is located in the middle steppe just halfway between El Calafate and El Chaltén.
Throughout the walk you can see a large number of petrified logs that lie on the surface, some 70 million years old, some with a diameter of 1.20 m. These remains are testimony to ancient times where the weather was very different from today and allowed the support of a large and abundant flora. Occasionally fossil remains of different types of dinosaurs are discovered.

Amei a experiência. É diferente de tudo o que você verá na região da Patagônia. Esse passeio é realizado em meio a estepe Patagônica e você desfruta de paisagens magníficas e diferentes.

Un paseo muy interesante y diferente a las excursiones habituales en Calafate, destaca un paisaje lunar ubicado en un cañadon con raras formaciones rocosas producto de la erosion. Caminando entre senderos que suben y bajan donde se observan los troncos petrificados. Muy linda excursion

I booked it so I did this excursion to transfer from El Chalten to El Calafate and it was a great decision. Leo was a great guide and extremely knowledgeable about the ar...

A completely different landscape than the gletsjers and el Chalten mountain area. Very worth a visit.
