Picked up at hotel, with an English speaking guide and driven through the Andean foothills to Garibaldi pass for a scenic view of lake faragano, then down a bush track straight off the escarpment, which offered views of small creeks, waterfalls, beaver ponds/earthworks and the occasional glimpse of the lake. The guide, Anna, providing commentary as we go. Finally arrive at our private cabin on the lake, situated on a rambling estancia (ranch/farm/cattle station). Anna and our driver whip up a salad, bread, wine and asada feast, with crème caramel for sweets!!
After lunch we look at the estancia museum which provides an overview of its history and characters, which they still revere today! Then its back to Ushaia. Somehow the change in light makes the mountains look different this time.
