Los Antiguos
In Argentine Patagonia, walk around a town with a history of its own next to the Perito Moreno National Park.
Over 20 years ago, the Hudson volcano erupted and covered this town in ashes. Its life, however, was reborn thanks to fine fruit production. Visit Los Antiguos and get close to its history. Taste the cherries, the strawberries, and the raspberries born from this rich land and its people’s work. Enjoy the beauty of the environment and the microclimate that makes these crops possible.
If you travel in January, do not miss the National Cherry Festival, which celebrates this production that turned local life around. And just a step away from Los Antiguos, the Perito Moreno National Park awaits you. Roam around this natural area amid valleys and plateaus, hills and lakes, forests and lagoons. Enjoy hiking and sailing, climbing and trekking on ice. Live it all in the province of Santa Cruz.
