Details of Day Tours


Our tour starts < b> from Las Grutas at the meeting point at 10:00 am, so only 50 km separate us from the Argentine Fort. 

The first stop will be at Villa de los Pulperos , we will get off the trucks 4x4 to explore this beach and learn about the ancestral techniques of the locals who are dedicated to collecting the smallest pulpits in the world. The Villa marks the beginning of what is Known as “El Camino de los Pulperos” , it is a gravel path that has been used for more than 75 years and is crossed by canyons rich in marine fossils. 

We will advance along the route to the south of the Spa to find the beach of Piedras Coloradas, a station of artisanal fishing boats , paradise or nitological and home to the granite stones that give the place its name. This beach is surrounded by a chain of dunes that will be waiting for us to challenge us in the practice of sandboarding, the guides will provide us with boards and sleds so that we can slide freely on the sand. 

After the fun in the dunes, the road will become challenging due to the complex sands of the place "El Buque"  whose traps will be raided by the 4x4 to take us to the camp armed by the guides, where we will enjoy an authentic Patagonian barbecue by the sea.

After lunch, we continue for about 15 kilometers until we reach the place "El Sótano", a coastal area where the largest tidal difference in Argentina. There the beach can be 1,200 meters high and in just under six hours the water can block the passage of our convoy, we will stop to see how and why these tides are formed. 

The last 20 km of route will take us to Fuerte Argentino, on the way we will come across guanacos, foxes, pinches, tortoises and jotes that flutter in the sky. And when the great plateau is in front of us we will descend from the 4x4 to appreciate its majesty, at this point the stop will be long, we will be able to enjoy the Laguna de Loma Blanca, which It is formed at high tide, to cool off and do snorkeling freely as it is rich in marine fauna, some of the species that we will find will be silversides, octopuses, crabs and mullets. 

To close the day, we will share the sunset with mates and talks, we will know the history of Templar Patagonia and the origin of the Fuerte Argentino and its first inhabitants.
