From here, high up the Andes Range, it is beautiful to see Lake Escondido, a small wonder at the bottom of the valley. Near the north end of Lake Escondido, and after leaving the paved road behind, the itinerary continues along a series of old paths that a sawmill opened in the forest, impassable for conventional vehicles, to approach Lake Fagnano, the fifth largest in Argentina. In the forest near the Fagnano coast there will be free time to walk and enjoy the place, while the guide prepares an abundant meal to be enjoyed comfortably in an exclusive refuge located in a natural environment, away from the noise of modern life.
