Meanwhile, the Patagonia Park region includes the Patagonia National Park and three public access areas with different conservation categories, called “portals”, one of them is the Cañadón Pinturas Portal.
What the note says about the destiny of Patagonia
On his journey, Stewart recounts the 4×4 trip from the Atlantic coast to the Andes and describes the beauty of the landscape that makes up lakes Posadas (“its electric blue”) and Pueyrredón (“a soft green”), separated by an isthmus, a narrow strip that divides both water courses, in which Lagos del is located. Furious.
The inn and its surroundings star in the main photo of the Financial Times article, titled “The Wild South.”
The area is spectacular for those looking to do trekking, mountaineering, running. Also for fishing and meditation. The proposal includes the possibility of doing adventure tourism in places without people.
The note also includes a map of Argentina that highlights the location of the inn. And in another photo you can see Gregorio Cramer and Alejandro Azpiazu, owner and partner of Lagos del Furioso, who made headlines in 2020 for reopening the inn and betting on tourism in times of pandemic.
The author of the note had talks with people from the area both about the history of the inn and about the natural characteristics of the area where there are everything from black-necked swans, wild ducks, flamingos and rheas to guanacos, foxes and pumas.
“There is something sweetly melancholic in Patagonia. People came here to dream, to build a new world at the end of the world. Today it is returning to its essence, to being what it was in a distant time,” can be read in Stewart’s chronicle.
During his trip he visited Los Antiguos, Cueva de las Manos and the aforementioned Patagonia Park, where he emphasized the project to preserve native fauna and flora.
