Up early for our morning tour of this amazing park, Nahuel Huapi. We started our tour by visiting the Saint Edward’s Church. This church was built in memory of the son of the builder of Llao Llao resort who died during the time the building was constructed. They built a church and named it for the boy. The church is visible from the hotel and sits on the mountain. The front of the church has a person with a Saint Bernard with a keg around its neck who wants to sell you picture of you and his dog. This seems to happen at all churches and cathedrals here. We saw Lake Moreno, named for the man who convinced the government to set this land aside as a national park. Moreno managed to get this created after Yellowstone Park, and Banff Canada and Moreno is compared to Teddy Roosevelt for his conservation efforts.
