Trip to Cañadon de las Ostras and El Sotano

We will convene at your preferred time in Las Grutas, where we’ll board an all-terrain vehicle destined for the charming area known as Villa de los Pulperos. This unique location in Argentine Patagonia is famous for being home to the smallest octopus in the world.

Our journey continues southward to Cañadón de las Ostras, where a towering rock wall presents an opportunity to observe marine fossils dating back over 20 million years.

In this remarkable Patagonian setting, we will also share a farewell toast while savoring an Argentinean picada, featuring an assortment of cheeses and traditional sausages. This serves as a delightful conclusion to our extraordinary adventure.
