San Martin de los Andes
MaPa Program
MaPa is an expedition of 6 + 1 days for Mothers, Fathers, and children from 12 years of age that aims to generate a memorable moment and live a space mutual learning.
For six days, in the Lanín National Park - near San Martín de los Andes- mothers, fathers, and children will face challenges that seek to strengthen the natural bond of both parties and build a shared history that last for a lifetime.
MaPa is a pause, it is leaving everyday life aside and focusing on what is important in life.
Sleeping in a tent, telling a story next to a fire, cooking together or watching a sunset can generate a connection that is impossible to generate in the day-to-day life of the times we live in.
