- In our latest travel video from Argentina we visit possibly the most beautiful places in Patagonia, Los Alerces National Park, on a day trip from Esquel, Chubut. Today we visit Los Alerces National Park where we encounter trees that are over 2600 years old!
We were visiting Esquel during low season, so there was only one daily bus with Transportes Esquel leavening in the early morning and returning in the evening. We made sure to arrive at the bus terminal 1 hour ahead of departure to make sure we could get seats on the bus since you can’t reserve tickets ahead of time and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
One of the coolest parts of the boat ride was seeing the Torrecillas Glacier. If you’re up for a serious trek, there are excursions in Los Alerces National Park that take you right to the foot of the glacier.
After cruising on the north end of Lake Menendez, we reached the Alerzal Milenario, where we disembarked and continued the rest of the excursion on foot.
The trees that we had come to see are the ‘Alerces patagónicos’ also known as lahuán. This is a type of tree that can be found in the Valdivian temperate rain forest below the higher elevations of the Andes in both Argentina and Chile. These trees can grow from sea level up to 1,500 (fifteen hundred) meters above sea level, and though they are slow-growth trees, they can reach heights of above 50 meters.
And that was our excursion to Los Alerces National Park in search of two-thousand-year-old trees! We hope you guys enjoyed this trip and we’ll see you soon with more videos from Patagonia.

Is this the MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE in Patagonia? | Visiting Los Alerces National Park in Argentina 😍
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city.
While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.

Stunning scenery. Argentina is such a beautiful and diverse country.
Such nice turquoise water. I love to see that in the mountains.
Thanks Bernard! It is such picturesque.
Hi Audrey and Samuel, thanks for visiting and show the world the idyllic lanscapes of my Argentina !!!
Thank you Pablo! We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel around Argentina.
that was a stunningly beautiful hike, i am sure it would be even more amazing to see it in person
It was breathtaking, especially when we got to the section where you can find the millenary alerces. It still blows my mind that some of these trees are 2,600 years old!
The landscape looks so pure, clean and refreshing. Reminds me the trekking trip to upper Himalayas in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh during monsoon (National parks and Valley of Flowers). Keep going 👍. Love from an Indian🇮🇳
Thank you! I've heard those places in India are stunningly beautiful. I'd love to visit someday.
Every step of this Place looks so untouched and natural. Beautiful ❤️😘
Just came back from Patagonia. I'm so sad I missed this:(
Hope you can visit next time! We've now done two trips to Patagonia and there is still so much to see. What was your favorite place?
@@samuelandaudrey I loved it all. But I really loved Torres del Paine and San Martin de los andes
Both places are amazing. We just visited Torres Del Paine a few weeks ago. Unbelievable scenery.

Another great video guys. You've gone and convinced me. It's my 50th in December, and I've decided. I want to go to New Orleans to sample the festive season there. My 83 year old father is beating me to it though. He's planning to visit New York in April!!!!!
Wow, that is amazing Paul! Your father is certainly an inspiration. Get out and enjoy life!
Great adventure! I know how you feel as where I live I'm just a 5 minute walk from the beautiful British countryside 😃 where are you guys travelling to next?
Thanks Brendan! That is awesome you're that close. We hope to someday settle nearby nature. We have some more videos from Esquel and next up will be a town called El Bolson just a little bit north.

Nice Video Samuel and Audrey Ma'am
Thanks Pranav! Wishing you a happy weekend!
For me the most beautiful place in Patagonia is lago Puelo , 8 miles away from el Bolsón, but I also stayed 3 days at lago verde , In the alegres national park, and it is for sure a top 3 , awesome vídeos sam and audrey, Thanks for sharing your experiences
Alerces
Thank you! Ah, those are our two favorites. Lago Puelo is amazing. We'll have an episode coming out soon from our experience visiting.
:)
Awesome .. keep on vlogging.. Visit Nepal 2020
Thanks! We have been to Nepal and have a few videos up on the channel.
Nice Intro
Thanks Pranav! Great to hear from you!
The glaciers in Santa Cruz and laguna del desierto are also very spectacular places I hope you can visit them too!
Love those suggestions Guillermo! Hope we can someday as well.
Would ya'll say that the bugs and mosquitos are pretty bad down in Patagonia? Or does the persistent wind and chilly nights keep them at bay? Also is the food any good way down south on either the Argentine or Chilean side? Are the roads in decent shape for renting a car and driving?
Hey Matthew! Great questions. Bugs and mosquitos are definitely not an issue the way they are for example in Canada in the early summer. The food is great on both sides. More seafood in Chile and more meat in Argentina. The roads are in decent shape moreso around the major areas but a big rougher on the barren stretches.
Gorgeous but it looks like that place has been wiped clean of it’s beautiful wildlife
Thanks, you can still spot wildlife but you need to be looking for it.
Please come to PAKISTAN it is peacful now and it is so beautiful. We will welcome you warmly 🔥 Waiting for your arrival. Love from PAKISTAN❤❤
Thanks! Hope we can soon!
Yes looks like part of Asia of Nepal
It is a beautiful place.
yo 😉 pienso la patagonia esta el mismo nivel a Estados unidos y Canadá en belleza natural, tierra del fuego es parecido a canadá. tiene conocer la garganta del diablo en Iguazu argentina😎

Is Argentina and Chile similar to Canada because it’s ice and it’s cold and the same trees I always been so curious of that is it?
Patagonia is similar to the west coast of Canada
El parque es de TRÉVELIN
