Lake Roca
First you have to take route 15 and go through this typical patagonia
road full of low vegetation such as Calafate, coiron, peinecillo
and mata negra (black grass), among others. You will pass Huyliche
and La Anita farmhouses where you can witness the getting of
the wool from the sheep between November and March.
The
humidity and flower growth will be in crescendo since you are getting
closer to the mountain range. When getting into National Park
Los Glaciares, the scenery turns rich in vegetation forming a forest
of typical trees of the region such as ñires, notros, coihues, it's
a quite area, away from the winds... a dreamed place.
Near this site you will see Cerro Cristal where you can walk
around and watch archaic paintings.
Lake Roca is ideal for fishing brown trouts, rainbow trout, salmon
and perca between November and March. Besides, you can spend
the day or the night there since there is a camping area.
And last of all, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a Patagonian
asado (grilled meat or barbecue) and ride horses at Nibepo Aike
farmhouse.
