This week my favorite part of the program was our visit to one of the traditional ranches left in Calafate. Here we had a great view of the Andes mountain range after hiking up a hill to the boulder in this picture.
We also got to see the sheep they had there, which they use for both their fur and meat. They let us bottle fed Rosita, which was one of their youngest lambs, and we got to watch them do their annual shearing of wool on another sheep. This excursion to say the least was amazing, the view although it looks amazing in pictures, the camera does not capture its essence in entirety.
