Description

Day 1: Reception at the airport and transfer to the selected hotel. Accommodation.

Day 2: Breakfast. During this road trip, you’ll enjoy the impressive rock formations and breathtaking views. As this is the most remote area of our circuits, we will depart early. The steppe is characterized by its large and vertical rock formations, some of which have been smoothed and eroded by wind and water. Here, we’ll find cavities where condors, emblematic birds of the region and the largest in the world, reside. This will be the perfect time to take breaks, hydrate, and enjoy a snack around 02:00 pm, which is included in the excursion. After descending, we will reach the riverbank to return to the starting point, where a van will be waiting to take us back. We expect to arrive in Bariloche around 05:00 pm. Accommodation.

Day 3: Breakfast. We leave the hotel at 09:00 am to board our exclusive transfer and load the bikes onto the boat that will take us to Victoria Island. We’ll navigate the crystal-clear waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi and arrive at Puerto Anchorena at 10:00 am, where our exciting bike adventure begins. This unique circuit is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, allowing us to observe the forests with their particular flora and fauna, always with respect for their habitat. During hydration breaks, you’ll also have time to enjoy these views. Around 02:00 pm, a mid-journey lunch will recharge us, then we will return to the port and conclude our day relaxing on the return boat ride home. We expect to arrive in Bariloche around 05:00 pm. Accommodation.

Day 4: Breakfast. We will begin the circuit at Cerro Catedral, ascending along a trail used for skiing in winter. After a hydration break in a flat area, we will descend towards a melted snow stream and continue through the forest to the shore of Lake Gutiérrez. We will cross a protected area of the National Park and near a trekking trail. Finally, we’ll enjoy a healthy snack by the lake to relax and recharge before continuing the descent to the base of the mountain. 05:00 pm. Accommodation.

Day 5: Breakfast. After breakfast, we will depart from the hotel with luggage towards Puerto Pañuelo, on the Llao Llao peninsula. The excursion includes an hour of navigation to Centinela Islet, where the remains of Perito Francisco Pascasio Moreno, pioneer of the National Parks in Argentina, rest. We will continue to the Cascada de los Cantaros and then ascend through the Valdivian forest to Lake Cantaros, with its thousand-year-old larch tree of over 1,500 years. After a brief five-minute navigation, we will arrive at Puerto Blest, an astonishing destination for tourists from all over the world. From there, we will explore the bay and the shores of Lake Frías, known for its green waters originating from the glaciers of Cerro Tronador, the natural border between Argentina and Chile. Dinner. Accommodation.

Day 6: Breakfast. After breakfast and with luggage, we will depart from the hotel in Puerto Blest towards Puerto Varas. First, we will follow the Frías River by bus to Puerto Alegre, and then navigate Lake Frías on the Victoria del Sur vessel, enjoying views of Cerro Tronador. After a brief journey, we will arrive at Puerto Frías for border formalities. We will continue by bus to Peulla, appreciating the stunning views of the Andes Mountains. Peulla, an ecological village and haven for nature lovers, will welcome us for lunch (optional). We will then navigate Lake Todos los Santos to Petrohué, with possible views of Osorno Volcano, Puntiagudo Volcano, and Cerro Tronador, weather permitting.
