On this unique adventure from El Calafate, travellers will enjoy an unforgettable day exploring Monte León National Park — the only park in Argentina that combines sea, coast, and steppe. The day begins early aboard a 4x4 Overland vehicle, crossing the Patagonian steppe and spotting native wildlife such as guanacos, rheas, and foxes. Upon arrival at the park, guests will take a walk among Magellanic penguins to a viewpoint overlooking the cliffs. Next, the journey continues by 4x4 along the trail leading to the iconic rock formation known as “Lion’s Head” and the sea lion colony, where these magnificent animals can be observed in their natural habitat. The excursion then proceeds to the Monte León Island viewpoint, home to large colonies of cormorants and seabirds. As the sun sets, the return journey begins, offering one last chance to admire the vast Patagonian landscape. A complete experience of nature, wildlife, and adventure in an extraordinary setting.
