Day 1 - Indulgence in Nature’s Arms

Get ready to soak in the beauty of Neuquén, Argentina. Our day starts with a brisk yet refreshing morning hike to Parque Norte, offering an awe-inspiring landscape that'll make you reach for your camera even before you know it. Let's not forget, breakfast is on us at a local café afterward. Later in the day, we'll pay a visit to the Museo Provincial Ernesto Bachmann. Fascinated by dinosaurs? If that's a nod, explore some real fossils while conveniently seated indoors. Late afternoon marks our journey through diverse indigenous flora and fauna, as we trail through the Reserva Natural Otamendi. As the sun sets, treat yourself to the delightful local cuisine at the famous Patagonia Sur Restaurant. What a kicker to end the day!

Day 2 - Abode of Art and Culture

Day two is all about digging deeper into the rich culture and art of Neuquén. As you breakfast on traditional Argentine pastries, we make our way to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes Neuquén. Prepare yourself for a visual feast with some spectacular masterpieces on display. If 'go local' is your mantra, a visit to the bustling Craft Market of Neuquén will offer you an abundance of unique souvenirs. Take home memories crafted with love by local artisans. Hungry after shopping? We dive into traditional Argentine lunch at La Zaina Restaurant. The evening is reserved for a once-in-a-lifetime theater experience at Teatro Español. After a culturally fulfilling day, how about a nightcap at a local winery? Sounds perfect, right?

Day 3 - Unwind amidst Neuquén’s Serene Settings

Here we are, the final day of our journey and it's all about relaxation. Starting off, we make a quick visit to the breadbasket of Neuquén, the Cerro Mesa, to gobble up some freshly baked goodies. Equipped with those, we head to Lake Aluminé. Can you imagine a better breakfast spot than a crystal-clear lake surrounded by majestic mountains? Didn’t think so! The rest of our day is filled with leisurely strolls around the lake, or if you're up for it, some boating or fishing. As the evening draws near, we prepare for a delightful picnic dinner by the lake, relishing local dishes under the incredibly vast Argentine sky. Could there be a more fitting end to your Neuquén adventure?
