Gaucho for a Day

Heading north from the Parque Nacional Los Alerces, we visited the lakeside town of Lago Puelo. Here we hiked up to a mirador in the NP overlooking the town, lake and mountains.

The next day was Gaucho day.  As complete novices, we booked what we thought was a brief and gentle two hour horse ride adjacent to the lake. However, three and a half hours later, having ascended a forest covered mountain, pushed through dense bush and crossed several rivers, we must re-think our Spanish language comprehension!

Nonetheless, it was a terrific day out on horseback and we really enjoyed it.  Next stop, Bariloche – ski capital of Argentina.
