Me hubiese gustado recibir el día anterior un WhatsApp de confirmación de búsqueda por el hostel, ya que me habían dado horario de búsqueda a partir de 8:30, llegaron 9:10 y en los teléfonos de contacto nadie respondía y tuve miedo de que se hubieran olvidado. Lo cual genera incertidumbre y ansiedad. Por lo demás estuvo excelente, el guía Agustín genial, el fotógrafo y la comida también.

4x4 Road lakes full day con canotaje Ushuaia

Llegamos a las 7:20 de la mañana del 9 de noviembre a las 9 horas nos estaban pasando a buscar para realizar la excursión de 4 x 4 a lago escondido y fagnano, paso Garibaldi, vista de los turbales y los cerros desde Terra Mayor ,puntos panorámicos y canotaje. Ahí nos encontramos con el guía Marcos del cual quiero dar una descripción particular. Una calidez en su trato absolutamente atento a cada necesidad, sumamente cuidadoso de cada uno de los integrantes y conformamos la expulsión, hizo de esta expedición un día súper gratificante haciéndonos sentir desde adentro estas postales. Nos brindó momentos sumamente gratificantes como el cafecito con la pastafrola casera y luego para cerrar un almuerzo espectacular Husky Park - Nunatak. Y finalizamos el día con una charla generosa sobre la continuidad de la cría de los perros antárticos. Disfrutando un momento con los cachorros. Experiencia que ha superado ampliamente las expectativas con las que la contraté. Gracias a todos
