About this experience
Embark on an unforgettable adventure from Puerto Pañuelo and immerse yourself in the majesty of Patagonia.
During an hour of navigation, you will travel through the crystal-clear waters to the mystical Islote Centinela, where the remains of the legendary Perito Francisco Pascasio Moreno rest, the visionary pioneer of National Parks in Argentina. This place, full of history and serenity, marks the beginning of an experience that awakens all the senses.
As we advance, the sound of water announces our arrival at the imposing Cascada de los Cántaros. From there, a path winds towards the lush Valdivian jungle, where nature displays all its beauty. At the top of the path, the turquoise mirror of Lake Cántaros reveals the origin of the waterfall, accompanied by the impressive presence of an ancient larch tree more than 1,500 years old, silent guardian of this paradise.
