Walichu

Exploration Path

We visit Punta Walichu, an archaeological site on the shores of Lake Argentino that preserves the traces of the first inhabitants of this land. Its rock paintings —hands, figures, and marks left by hunter-gatherer groups— allow us to glimpse the way they understood and inhabited the Patagonian landscape long before the arrival of the settlers. An exploration that invites us to read the territory through time, recognizing in the rock the oldest memory of the region.

The Patagonian steppe stretches from the outskirts of Calafate to the Río La Leona — open and windswept.
