Gala Dinner: March 27, 2008

Where: Hotel Tunquelen

How to go: A bus will depart from the conference venue at 19:45 to the Hotel Tunquelén (about 25 km from the Conference Venue).

In the times of araucanos and tehuelches, Tunquelén ('resting place' in mapuche language) was an ample rock projection that was a refuge for the natives, the rock can still be seen next to the hotel's access road.

In 1930s rescuing the spirit of the place, the talented architect Ernesto Estrada, by Mrs. Alicia Lalor and her husband Dr. Parodi Cantilo's request, designed and built Tunquelén Hotel, one of the greatest architectonic works of the Andean style that conform the architectonic patrimony of the 'Lagos del Sur' (Lakes of the South).

Located at 'Bahía Llao Llao', Tunquelén Hotel is seen on the Shore of Nahuel Huapi Lake in a 6 hectares park where natural and typical vegetation has been carefully preserved.

Surrounded by peaks with everlasting snow, the sight seen of Tunquelén Hotel is unique and incredibly beautiful, its magic shapes and indiscreptible colors will turn your soul on, while at the bottom of the hillside Tunquelén harbor allows you to see the come and go of the boats to the Isla Victoria national Inn pier.

Hernan Lugano and the "Tango Jazz Trío"

Thursday at the gala dinner, we will enjoy a fall evening with the beautiful music of Hernan Lugano and the "Tango Jazz Trío". Argentine Tango never sounded so soulful, searing and sensual. The group undertaked a meticulous study aimed to interpret the complex music phrases that characterize this music. Such experience has raised in the group an increasing interest that has quickly become a deep passion, fed by a flattering public confirmation.
