A fascinating trip to discover both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans and an incredible ammount of secrets kept in between that mingle with the immensity of the Patagonic steppe: an ancient subtropical petrified wood by the action of volcanic eruptions over 60 million years ago, nowadays lying in the barren bleak plateau; a cave decorated by Indian paintings 900 years ago; and finally the millenary ice of San RafaelGlacier.
