Parade along Argentino´s Lake

We arrived at Calafate in the Patagonian winter (August) but as it was an awesome day, we were offered the possibility of a horse ride around Lake Argentino. We were really excited. We went to a house on the outskirts of the village where there were lots of animals. The truth is we didn't have much experience, but we enjoyed it. The horse ride lasts about two hours and you can enjoy the peace and the exceptional natural. The lake is surrounded by the Andes Mountains, and the local flora is reduced to scrub that gave the village its name: "El Calafate". We were told that this shrub is used to make everything, including jams with fruit.
