We meet together at the welcome dinner. At the dinner we’ll taste the very special cordero patagonico – famous Patagonia lamb roasted at local parilla. So far it was the best meat we tasted in the world!

Last part of the road (60 km) is gravel, through the inner territories in the park.

April is the end of tourist and hikers seasons so you’ll see only photographers in the park.
