Itinerary

San Carlos de Bariloche

Passing by

After pick-up from your Bariloche hotel, relax as we begin our scenic 75-mile (120-km) journey along the stunning Lake Gutiérrez, Lake Mascardi, and Lake Guillermo.
El Bolson

Passing by

We will then head toward El Bolsón, a town renowned for its mild climate and fertile soil, making it a hub for agriculture. Here, local products such as berries, apples, pears, and cherries flourish. El Bolsón is also famous for its vibrant craft beer industry, thanks to its ideal hop-growing conditions. You’ll have the opportunity to sample fresh fruit and local brews while browsing the town’s charming shops. Stop for a healthy lunch (at your own expense) and explore the bustling outdoor market, where you’ll find a wide array of food, woodwork, leatherwork, and crafts from local artisans.

Learn about El Bolsón’s unique history, including the influx of hippies from Buenos Aires in the 1960s who established the town as an 'ecological municipality' due to its natural foods and sustainable practices.
Lago Puelo

Passing by

Next, we will continue to Lago Puelo National Park, a beautiful area with a privileged climate and classic Andean-Patagonian forest. Here, we will visit the stunning Lago Puelo and take a leisurely walk along the Las Sombras Path, an easy and enjoyable trail where you can see native species, some of which are endangered.

After our time in the park, we’ll begin our picturesque return to Bariloche, with drop-off at your hotel to conclude the day.
