Exploration Path
We climb Cerro Cristal to understand how water structures and shapes this territory. As we gain altitude, the landscape arranges itself before us: Lake Argentino, Lake Roca, and the Perito Moreno Glacier stand out by their colors and their origins, each telling a part of the region's glacial history. From the summit, the gaze takes in the whole and allows us to read the landscape in its entirety, like a living map sculpted by the ice.
Where the mountains hold the moisture of the ice fields, the Patagonian forest takes hold, dense, quiet, home to the territory's greatest biodiversity.
