Exploring Native History in El Calafate: An Unforgettable Afternoon Adventure
El Calafate, located in the heart of Argentine Patagonia, is a treasure trove of stories and natural wonders. Although it is known as the gateway to the famous Perito Moreno Glacier, it offers much more for those willing to explore.
The Nativo Experience: Lakes and Caves tour in El Calafate is an experience that focuses on the anthropological and cultural history of the region. Through this expedition, visitors can learn about the passage of man in the El Calafate area and how ancient cultures interacted with the Patagonian environment.
The tour takes visitors to ancient caves where pictographs and other vestiges left by the original cultures can be observed. These cave representations offer a unique insight into the beliefs, lifestyles and traditions of the region's first inhabitants.
Through expert guides, participants will learn about the history of El Calafate, from the first human settlements to the present day. This includes the interaction between the native Tehuelche, an indigenous group that historically inhabited the Patagonian region of southern Argentina and Chile, and the settlers.
Although the main focus is anthropological and historical, the tour also offers information on the local flora and fauna, and how the ancient cultures interacted with and utilized the natural resources available.
El Calafate, located next to Lake Argentino and near the Perito Moreno glacier, offers breathtaking scenery. Throughout the tour, visitors will enjoy panoramic views and learn about the geological formation of the region.
