Skip the hassle of getting a rental car when you book a guided tour of the Road of the Seven Lakes, a picturesque route that winds through the countryside of Patagonia.

All Bariloche in one day! Learn about the different aspects of this iconic city. Find out how residents live and the development of tourist activity over the years. We start by crossing the different popular neighborhoods, until we reach the East coast of Lake Gutierrez. We will visit the Grotto de la Virgen de las Nieves and from there to the base of Cerro Catedral, where we will walk the foot of the mountain. After passing through Colonia Switzerland, where on Wednesdays and Sundays the artisan fair and elaboration of the curanto is presented, we will continue through Circuit Chico, visiting, Panoramic Point, López Bay, Hotel Llao Llao, Chapel San Eduardo and Puerto Pañuelo. The most striking point of this tour is the view at Cerro Campanario (optional ascent).

Among the innumerable options that the Nahuel Huapi National Park offers, there is a little-known route but no less spectacular for that. From Bahía López, 25 km from Bariloche, you can get to the Brazo Tristeza by motor boat. There, if the day is clear, you can see the glaciers at the top of Cerro Tronador, the highest in the park. When we reach the end of this Arm, we descend to land to walk a path through a dense forest, in which species known as the coihue and the cane alternate. Then we arrive at the Frey Stream Cascade. The flow of this stream varies according to the time of year, producing a peculiar and characteristic sound, which is generated when the water runs between wells, on a bed of rock polished by years of erosion.

Patagonia's natural wonders are spectacular yet scattered, so it's a hard place to explore without your own wheels. This full-day excursion from Bariloche lets you cruise across Nahuel Huapi Lake to Puerto Blest and visit Los Cantaros Waterfall. Learn about the natural resources, like the native coihue and cypress trees, and the history of the area from your guide.
