The adventure starts at the antique sheep shearing shed where the walking
tour begins through trekking paths that lead to the lagoon "Laguna
de los Pájaros" and the lake "Lago Argentino". The
expedition of our nature reserve includes birdwatching of over 40 migrating
species which visit us from the beginning of Spring and which often nest
in the reserve by the lagoon. The tour guide continues with the ancient
Indian camping ground where archeologists from the University of La Plata
have been excavating and studying the culture of Indians who once dominated
the whole area. It is hard to imagine this trip without watching our Kelpie
dogs guiding the flock from their pastures to the shearing shed. There
you will see how sheep are shorn and how wool is balled up. The tour ends
with a delicious patagonic lamb barbecue, fresh salads, homemade desserts
and hot coffee at our cozy restaurant with a magnificent view over the
Lago Argentino and the Cordillera de Los Andes.
Enjoy Estancia Alice!
