Florentino Ameghino Dike

At around 9 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Madryn and begin a 125-mile journey to the Florentino Ameghino dike.

During the tour, you will witness the beauty of Argentina's Patagonia region, passing through extensive plains and the mountains of Chubut province.

After approximately two and a half hours, we will arrive at the Florentino Ameghino dam. Our guide will lead us through the tunnels inside the dam and to the summit of the concrete wall.

From the top, you will see two distinct landscapes: an emerald lake on one side and a red-rock canyon with the Chubut river on the other.

We will also visit Villa Dique Florentino Ameghino, a small settlement with around 200 inhabitants on the lakes of the dike. Here, you can stroll through the streets and have the opportunity to try a regional dish of Patagonian lamb (not included).

Afterward, we will return to the vehicle and take you back to your hotel, arriving at 5 pm.
