History and Legends
History
The town was originated in 1890 when Spanish, English, Arabian, and Italian families, as well as old aboriginal settlers dedicated to farming and cattle breeding. Today the population is 3000 inhabitants.
It is situated at a height of 403 metres above sea level in a spot called "Pari-Aike" by the aborigines, which means "place with rush" or "birth", since it is near the origin of river Deseado.
By national decree number 10471 of 28 th May 1927 it is given the name of doctor Francisco Pascasio Moreno in homage to the tasks performed by him to settle Argentine sovereignty in these territories.
It was declared Archaeological Capital of Santa Cruz in 1981 for its proximity to the Cave Art in Cueva de las Manos.
Fly Fishing
It is inevitable that we use passion to speak about fishing. A passion that invades each of us, anglers, in a different way, but usually by means of anecdotes or experiences.
Not only is fly-fishing passionate, but it also surpasses passion to such an extent that it is hard to put it into words. It can be told, like I am telling you at this very moment, but experience is and must be personal, always
Diving
This is one of the most complete sensations that the human being may feel.
Through diving, man could visit the bottom of the sea, see a sub-aquatic world, stroke fish and visit legendary shipwrecks, feeling completely safe and adapted to the water environment.
In order to practice this activity, it is not necessary to be in great shape, or to have a well-defined swimming style.
