Stop at Correntoso Lake’s scenic shores for snacks such as fried cakes, queso casero (cheese) or ham (own expense), made by the Mapuche community of Quintupurai.
Continue to Small Mirror Lake (Lago Espejo Chico) and Bodega Ruca Malen, passing bridges, an old inn and tranquil rivers, and see views that extend as far as Chile from the Espejo Grande viewpoint.

Our four-day adventure through the Valdés Peninsula was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty and wildlife of this unique region. While the overnight accommodations were comfortable, the itinerary occasionally felt rushed, leaving us wanting a bit more time to explore Punta Tombo’s fascinating penguin colony.

Exploring the stunning landscapes of the Valdés Peninsula was a highlight of my journey. The overnight stays enriched my experience, allowing me to soak in the peaceful ambiance of Trelew and connect with fellow travelers. While the pace could be a bit rushed at times, especially during my visit to Punta Tombo, the daily discoveries made it all worthwhile.
