About this experience
The Tolhuin Natural and Gastronomic Circuit in 4x4 is a new and attractive proposal to let you take a full day full of energy, nature, culture and fun to Tolhuin, the "Heart of the Island". Combine nature, fun with an authentic "Masterclass" by the local chef, who will cook the authentic "Fueguino Lamb" and will teach you the tricks with local ingredients.
A different way of getting to know this beautiful town, where in addition to having breakfast in a Tierra del Fuego in front of Lake Fagnano, with exquisite and varied local recipes, we will take you to discover and contemplate a walk surrounded by the sensational Laguna Negra, in the middle of a provincial reserve. , surrounded by an ancient forest of lengas, castoreras and a peat bog in formation.
Having the "Fueguino Lamb" for lunch in front of the Lake, the place where it is captured, is priceless, and even more so with the warm attention of Tony, in his Lake Residence, in front of Lake Fagnano.
