Sengel

Sengel is associated with the upper Senguerr River, which flows east from Lakes La Plata and Fontana across the Patagonian steppe. The river’s Tehuelche name has been interpreted as referring to a ford. Its valley leads from forested Andean slopes into drier open country, eventually supplying the Musters and Colhué Huapi lakes. Water and sheltered crossings made the river an important feature of this otherwise arid landscape.
