About this activity

This small-group tour combines geology, indigenous history, and Alpine scenery in Argentina's Lake District, with expert commentary and convenient hotel transfers.

Located at the northern end of Patagonia, the region is brimming with geologic wonders. Your knowledgeable guide also informs you about the indigenous Mapuche, with stops at local community churches. Pickup and drop-off at your central hotel ensures an easy day of exploration. Numbers are limited to 12 on this small-group tour for a personalized experience.
