If you like history and culture there are excurcions to know about the people who livedin this region many years ago, for example you can visit El Manso that's a river that runs through farms, and in these farms there are some aboriginal rock paintings and a guide explains you what the symbols could mean, also tell the story and the context in which they were painted. Particulary there's a rhea because that animal was very important for them but when Spanish arrived with horses the rhea was forgotten.


About winter if you don't like to stay in your hotel and see the snow falling you can go to Perito Moreno ski-center, that is a beautifull mountain available to practice snowboarding, skiing or spend a good day with your family. Also there are instructors to tern you into a pro.
