Gobernador Gregores is 85 km. from Lago Cardiel. You can access to the city by national route 40 and provincial route 25. This lake concentrates the richest population of Salmonidae.
The desert in the province of Santa Cruz is counterparted by the solidary action of the INTA (National Institute for Agricultural Technology), by means of a program for productive diversification with activities of lower environmental cost than ovine monoculture. The objective is clear: to find an income-producing alternative which protects the environment. Gobernador Gregores is a pilot area for this proposal.
With an incredible landscape on the backstage, many rural producers bet to rural tourism as one of the possible solutions, and today more than 30 estancias in the province are open to this touristic activity.
Others turned to agriculture and keep on toiling a land they do not want to leave. There are certain advantages: the cold weather makes it possible to store products naturally. Moreover, the quality of crops is excellent, and it is not necessary to use plaguicides, what makes them really pure.
The average maximum anual temperature is 14º, and the minimum is 2,9º, with predominant winds from the northwest-west averaging 36 km/h, and average annual precipitations of 211mm. |
