Los Alerces experience

Sail to Los Alerces' millennial forest

Cross Menéndez Lake by boat, then walk to an ancient alerce whose growth began more than two and a half millennia ago.

The experience

Reach one of Patagonia's oldest living trees

Los Alerces protects exceptionally intact northern Patagonian forest, including long-lived Fitzroya cupressoides trees threatened elsewhere by logging and fire.

The Alerzal Milenario excursion uses lake navigation and a forest walk to reach a specimen more than 2,600 years old.

Experience FAQ

Sail to Los Alerces' millennial forest

Q01Why is the alerce so important?

Alerce is a slow-growing, exceptionally long-lived conifer; the park protects some of Argentina's most intact surviving stands.

Q02Can we drive to the millennial forest?

No. Reaching the millennial forest combines a boat journey across the park's lakes with a guided walk.

Plan with Alex

Plan the Alerzal Milenario

Follow Patagonia toward the ice, or take the northern road from vineyard shade to Iguazú's thunder.

Tell me which landscape you keep returning to, and we will build the right Argentina journey around it.

Portrait of Alex

I would travel south for whales, lenga forests and glaciers calving into blue water. I would turn north for Mendoza's vineyards, the white deserts of the Puna and the roar of Iguazú. Both deserve a journey of their own.
