hello friends welcome we are samuel and audrey from esquel (chubut) argentina and it's fine
early now it's 7:15 in the tomorrow and we will go for a walk to
visit los larches national park we are going to do a boat tour where
we walk through the lakes let's see a glacier visit a larch forest
where the trees are 2,700 years old antiquity
so it's going to be a super fun day now we are walking towards
bus terminal because our tour does not includes transportation so let's go to
buy our tickets and we will show our ride
we were in skeleton just at end of the summer season and just
there was bus service with transport skeleton once a day going out in the
tomorrow and coming back at night we arrive to the terminal with an hour of
anticipation to get a seat because once they hit the bus
that is if you plan to visit the park we recommend paying for a
round trip ticket for the driver reserves a seat on the bus
returning to skeleton at the end of the day there were people who stayed in the park
because they had not booked and there was place so let us know in advance
if they can rent a car and still drive better good good morning
we have been traveling by bus for two hours and a half I took a nice
nap we were skeleton at 8 in the Tomorrow and now it's half past 10 the bus
stopped at a place called a walkway river arrayanes arrayanes I can hardly say
that word and from here we have to walk about 20 minutes to reach
port its ko and from there it will leave our excursion on our boat ride we
they said don't get too distracted on the road taking pictures or filming
because it's a very nice hike but we don't have much time to get to
port before the east walk that we are here trying to enjoy
but also make good weather and if you have been a nice trip well we are the
I mentioned I slept you go but Samuel filmed it
ok now while we keep walking them I'm going to comment a little on prices
then to do this tour this ride by boat we pay 1,950 pesos for
person who would be the equivalent of 50 US dollars later for
enter the park we pay 150 facebook per person that would be 9 dollars
this is the price for foreigners is cheaper for Argentines and even more
cheap if you are a resident of the province of chubut and we also had
to pay for transportation that was 500 round trip weights and that would come to
be like 13 dollars per person
and samuel what do you think about this place It's like Pau as a band in Canada on
national park also makes me remember the parks a lot
Rockies in Canada more than anything for the water color is like a green color
glacial turquoise but in the end you have to continue you have to
continue now to the lake sector Menendez and central strokes
since it has been downloaded
in the distance we could observe the torrecillas glacier this is one of the
many attractions inside the park national larches and there are also
excursions that arrive at the foot of glacier
yes
after navigating to the northern tip of the Lake Menéndez we arrived at the alert at
millennial here we disembark and we continue the rest of the way on foot
the trees we came to see are the Patagonian larches also known
by name the water this is a tree native to the forest
humid temperate valdiviano from the south of Chile and Argentina- and grows from the
sea ​​level up to 1500 meters above sea level is a kind of
slow growth but trees they can reach heights higher than
50 meters
we have been told that if we need a stick a walking stick that
let's grab a good cane now let's start the walk we were in the
boat an hour and a half he was in the second
floor taking pictures all the time
mountains the impressive glacier wow wow spectacular and now let's
do a 2.2 kilometer walk and we have to do it with the group we
they have said that we cannot separate from day now and today we are taking this tour
guided because this is the only way to visit the larch can only be reached
by boat on this particular excursion and if we are going to be seeing trees that
they are thousands of years old we just saw one who was 2700 years old and they know the age of
tree because it grows one millimeter per year and apparently in this forest there are some
trees that are more than 4000 years old
I love this place
this is samuel in his filming element always filming with a camera in the
hands well now we have already raised some 70 meters high so we are
approaching larches we have also almost lost we have almost
lost our group to take pictures
ah
Y
well well we have reached the end of that tour of this hike how are you
if you liked it, he really liked it wow awesome awesome forest already the
tree size we loved the It was very nice to be able to walk around
forest surrounded by nature and now that we have reached the end of the tour
we have these views the mountain lake we're going to get in the boat now in a few
minutes eat something a small snack while traveling to
back to the port where we started
good we got off the boat
Now we are walking a little because we still have two and a half hours left
before the bus passes again to skeleton so we met a girl
French who has been walking doing a little trekking in this park and we
recommended this path that goes to the old lake of the boards and if it's a cute
easy way is short I think this is going to be a 45 minute walk and like
we have the time let's go let's do them let's enjoy
we found a tree with green apples we are still missing our lists for
eat but if you go through here in the fall we have not run out of
food we have cookies and nuts left and finite millet now let's go down to the
lake
and that was our walk to the park national larches we hope they have
enjoyed our tour and we already see you soon with more adventures for
Patagonia
