“A wonderful excursion. Beautiful landscapes. Abundant nature; we saw several species of native wildlife and learned about the history of the pioneers of Patagonia and sheep shearing. The lamb barbecue was delicious and plentiful. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local fauna, flora, and history. The boat trip, almost private, was a real treat.
