At the beginning of the excursion we will cross different neighborhoods to the south of the city, to soon take a paved road that leads us to the reserve. Once there we must take a 4 km road. Approximately surrounded by the Patagonian forest that takes us to the beginning of the trail where we will walk for about half an hour.

During the walk we will be able to appreciate different species of endemic flora such as rosemary, sarsaparilla, devil`s strawberry, calafate, murtilla, notro, leñadura, michay and coigüe and lenga forests.

Salut les amis ! Récemment, j'ai fait une rando incroyable dans la Réserve Nationale de Magallanes avec Tangol Tours. Le paysage est tout simplement époustouflant, avec des vues à couper le souffle sur les montagnes et la forêt. Le guide était super sympa et connaissait bien la région. C'était une aventure inoubliable que je recommande à tous les amoureux de la nature. N'oubliez pas de porter des vêtements chauds et confortables. Vivement la prochaine !
