Day destined to make the navigation to the Marble Chapels and discover the vertiginous way, in part of cornice, that crosses the mountain range, crosses the south coast of the lake and the transition of the steppe to the Andean Patagonian forest to then join an exclusive navigation until the Marble Chapels. If it is not possible to cross the border into Chile, the original program will be modified. Instead, we will travel along Route 41 to cover this scenic route that in less than 100km ascends from 200m to 1500m, thus being the highest road in Southern Patagonia and crossing four well-differentiated environments: steppe,Andean forest, high pasture and high mountain.Overnight in a hotel in Los Antiguos.

This day is destined to travel the scenic Route 41, the highest road and one of the most beautiful in all Patagonia, which runs parallel to the border with Chile joining the valleys of Lake Buenos Aires with Lake Posadas in 170 km of contrasts and panoramic views. We start from Lake Buenos Aires at 220 meters above sea level and ascend to the top of the plateau at 1500 meters above sea level, crossing four well-differentiated environments: steppe, Andean forest, high pasture and the high mountain.
