| Park
Aiken del Sur: |
The
same enterprise owns the "Private Park Aiken del Sur",
which is located about 15 minutes from the hotel, through
a road of singular beauty. Here you will find adventure, the
contact with Patagonia's untouched nature, emotion and delicious
local food (Patagonian Barbecue).
The
"Park Aikén del Sur" offers natural beauty
such as the shores of Lake Riesco with 14 km2 surface and
quiet waters of a clear blue color. There is also a 22 metes
high waterfall, native forests of perennial especies, humid
species such as ferns, some of them the first found in Chile,
moss and lichen; wide prairies where ancient myrtles and tepa
trees as Chilco and Calafate mix together, and swamp lands.
The
park has been implemented to provide comfort to its visitors.
The facilities are:
•
Visitors' Center equipped with sanitary services for women,
men and handicapped people, first aid room, handicraft shop
and interactive exhibitions giving information on local flora,
fauna and anthropology. Visitors will be hosted by bilingual
guides escorting them all over the visit.
• Three
natural properly paved paths with catwalks, fencing, bridges,
observatory points, and resting places that will give information
on the bio-geographical history of each place through educational
stations. There you will enjoy the wonderful sceneries of
the lake, river and hills that are part of the Andes mountain
range in Patagonia. You will also have the opportunity to
hear the singing of local birds such as Chucao and Hueta.
• "Quincho" Lounge, this typical Patagonian
lounge has a capacity for over 140 people and consists of
a main fireplace and a bar for tasting a pisco sour reception
toast and the finest Chilean wines. This location also has
sanitary services for women, men and handicapped people and
a local handicraft shop as well.
• The lunch at the Quincho lounge will be entertained
by a local folk group.
After
lunch, visitors may have a rest or walk along the other two
footpaths in the park, which have a low difficulty. Later,
on a previously agreed time, visitors will be taken back to
the hotel for relaxing after a long day full of unforgettable
experiences and adventures. At nightfall you can taste a pleasant
dinner, which is a proper opportunity for talking about the
day's adventures; all this accompanied by the best seafood
and finest wines. |
