PERITO
MORENO is located in the intersection of the national
route #40 and the #43 very near the nascent of the Deseado river
in the lake Buenos Aires, in the northwest of Santa Cruz's province.
Called the “archaeological capital” of the province,
since one of the main attractiveness is its proximity to the Cave
of The Hands.
23
kilometers to the west by the route #43, you arrives at the lake
Buenos Aires, an excellent fishing place, when the wind allows
it. This lake is bi-national and in Chile is called General Carrera
and it is the most extensive in the Patagonia. The second in South
America after the Titicaca.
The
route continues skirting the lake and 42 kilometers toward the
west you arrives to Los Antiguos.
LOS
ANTIGUOS is located just 8 kilometers from the town Chile
Chico in the Republic of Chile through the border Pass Río
Jeinemeni.
This town became famous in 1991 because it was covered of ash
by the eruption of the Volcano Hudson in the Chilean mountain
range.
The
climate of the region is quite rigorous but due to the proximity
of such a big lake and to be summoned in a valley, it possesses
a microclimate that have allowed this place to produce vegetables,
honey and fine fruits (cherries, strawberries, raspberries), to
such a point that in the first weekend of January takes place
in this town the Provincial Party of The Cherry.
It
is also a strategic place to organize fishing trips and walks
to places so inhospitable as spectacular.
It
has a small hotel infrastructure and some hostels in the surroundings.
