About this tour

After picking you up at your hotel in downtown Bariloche, we will head towards Val, passing along Lake Nahuel Huapi on Avenida Castillo.

Arriving at Puerto Pañuelo, located between the Llao Llao Peninsula and Villa Tacul, we will board and begin the navigation on Lake Nahuel Huapi, a highlight of the region.

First, we will head to the Centinela Islet, where the remains of the Perito Francisco Pascasio Moreno, the father of the Argentine National Parks, rest.

We will sail towards Cántaros Waterfall, from where we will be able to observe the majestic larch tree, believed to be 1,500 years old.

Then, we will walk for a while and enter the vegetation of the Valdivian rainforest to reach Lake Cántaros, the source of the waterfall.

Next, we will return to the boat and sail for only five more minutes to finally arrive at Puerto Blest, an incredible place visited by many tourists from all over.

From there, you can visit the bay and see the shores of Lake Frías, whose peculiar green waters come from one of the glaciers of Mount Tronador, the natural border between Argentina and Chile.

There you may choose the optional navigation to Lake Frías (not included).

After sailing across Lake Nahuel Huapi and its hidden corners, we will disembark at Puerto Pañuelo, from where we will take you back to Bariloche.

belle promenade en bateau

Une très belle balade. Se perdre dans l'immensité de la nature: cette activité nous fait prendre conscience à quel point nous sommes petits et combien nous aimons (ceux d'entre nous qui vivons en ville) vivre une belle vie en plein air.

schöne Bootsfahrt

Eine wirklich schöne Fahrt. Sich in der unendlichen Natur verlieren: Diese Aktivität lässt uns erkennen, wie klein wir sind und wie wenig wir (die von uns, die in der Stadt leben) an schönem Leben im Freien genießen.
