Posadas Lake
In Argentine Patagonia, a perfect place to walk, fish, climb, and get close to history awaits you.
Do you like landscapes that hide treasures waiting to be uncovered? Next to the Andes mountain range, lake Posadas awaits you. Step close to this mirror of crystal-clear water, fed by the Tarde and Furioso rivers. Did you know that this lake is a true paradise for sport fishing? Here you’ll find rainbow and brown trout, together with salmons, perches, and Patagonian silversides. Do you feel like exploring the environment?
Very near the lake, challenge the highest mount in the province of Santa Cruz: San Lorenzo, reaching up to 3,700 meters high. Did you know that only a few climbers have managed to conquer its peak? If you’d rather walk on level ground, just steps away you’ll find the town of Lago Posadas: a place with its own history, born as a meeting point for families that lived in rural establishments in the area. Enjoy it all in Argentine Patagonia.
