Discover two natural icons with organization and comfort

Start an unforgettable journey through the waters of the Nahuel Huapi and immerse yourself in an environment of millenary nature. This experience is designed for those who value an organized trip, surrounded by unique landscapes and guided by specialists who accompany every moment. Hiking, navigation and fresh air in one of the most representative destinations of Bariloche.

 Lake navigation with history and fairytale trails

The experience begins when we arrive on our own at Puerto Pañuelo, located 25 km from downtown Bariloche. From there, we embark towards two natural wonders: the Arrayanes Forest and Victoria Island.

First, we sail to the Quetrihué peninsula, where an interpretative hike allows us to visit the only myrtle forest in the world. These centuries-old cinnamon-barked trees make up a landscape that is as magical as it is unique.

Then, we head towards Victoria Island. There, marked trails lead through native forests, natural viewpoints and Playa del Toro, home to ancient cave paintings and volcanic sands.

A full day to reconnect with nature in its purest state, ideal for groups or travelers looking for a guided and organized excursion.
