La Posta de Los Toldos is the refuge in the deep Patagonian steppe of Patagonia Park.
Our experience is based on achieving luxury through simplicity, exploration immersed in nature and enjoyment from a remote location.
We have nine rooms with private bathrooms, a fresh, homemade and regional kitchen, cozy common spaces, inspiring maps and books, a star observatory and a new area for motorhomes.
La Posta is also a center for nature tourism activities and for that we have planned explorations as diverse as the landscapes that we can enjoy.
The adventure begins by experiencing the spectacle offered by the native fauna through a network of over 16 kilometers of trails that travel across imposing cliffs, panoramic views of faraway mountain ranges, landscapes of vibrant colors and steep canyons.
9,300 years ago the first hunter-gatherers lived in these canyons and they depicted their daily life and the landscape with the cave art we can find in this protected area. They inhabited these canyons for over 7,000 years and left traces for us to follow and learn about their past whilst enjoying the colourful scenery”
These canyons are the same ones that inspired the first hunter-gatherers in the area to depict their lives through cave art during the seven thousand years they occupied the Cueva de las Manos, the Alero Charcamata, and other spots across the Cañadón Pinturas Portal.
