Valley of Wolves

 interesting place  Add category

There is no doubt this is one of the most beautiful sites in the City of Ushuaia. Here, a man known as “el Gato” (the cat) is in charge of breeding hundreds of dogs and of teaching them how to pull sleds through the snow. A mandatory ride.
The Valley of the Wolves, half an hour away from the City of Ushuaia, amazes all those who reach this destination either by recommendation or out of pure curiosity. The point is that an indescribable amount of Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes specially bred to pull sleds, become the protagonists of all looks. Only one man can be their master and be respected by them. His name sounds weird being surrounded by so many dogs: Gato (Cat) Curuchet.

Gato Curuchet was born in Tandil and he had dreamed about seeing the ice of Alaska ever since he was a little child. He set out on a journey that would change his life forever. He was heading for Alaska, the indomitable lands of Jack London and his dogs. But fate played a great trick on him: he lost his ship and stayed in Ushuaia for good, where he found an environment similar to that he had always dreamed of but on Argentinian soil.
