It was totally different from what I expected. The terrain was very hilly and the ride made me think of dune bashing in Abu Dabhi.

Excursión comprada por despegar. Luego estado en el Calafate estaba encargada la agencia Patagonia dreams. Realmente recomendaré, puntuales, nos pasaron a buscar x hotel.
La excursión comienza a la entrada y recorrido por el cerro hyliche. Se hace una parada en el mirador donde bajamos para apreciar el hermoso paisaje y aprovechar para sacar fotos. Luego continuamos el recorrido subiendo por cerro, el paisaje es bellísimo hasta llegar a la siguiente parada. Donde se hace un trayecto a pie para llegar al refugio de montaña.
Aquí nos brindaron una infusión caliente. Mientras preparaban el almuerzo que fue un guiso de lentejas muy rico y vino bárbaro ya que ese día había lluvia nieve!!
El refugio muy lindo con una salamandra grande que calefaccionaba todo el lugar.
Después de terminar de almorzar que solo nos éramos pocos integrantes en la excursión iniciamos el descenso, haciendo la parada por las pierdas sombreros donde bajamos y aprovechamos para sacarnos fotos!
Luego nos regresaron nuevamente al hotel.
La guía y el chófer muy simpáticos y predispuestos!! Linda experiencia para conocer otros lugares preciosos del Calafate!! Saludos lectorestrip!!!
