The Seven Lakes of the Andes – Bariloche
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Bariloche
When you arrive in Bariloche, you’ll be greeted at the airport and transferred to your cosy hotel with a friendly atmosphere, just outside the town centre. There are several hiking trails in the area, so you can spend the afternoon wandering in the hills and soaking up the beautiful surroundings. You can finish the day with a local glass of wine in the hotel restaurant, overlooking the deep blue Lake Nauhel Huapi.
Day 2 – Bariloche
This morning is free for you to explore Bariloche at your own pace. The Centro Civico (town centre) is just a 15 minute walk from your hotel. On the way into town, you’ll pass several shops selling ski gear and chocolate. In the main square, you’ll find the local tourist office and the Patagonia Museum, which is well worth a visit.
In the afternoon, you’ll head to Lago Gutierrez, a highland lake nestled between mountain peaks. After a short briefing, you’ll climb into a small two-person kayak and head out onto the water with your guide, crossing silent clear lakes, surrounded by towering peaks and dense pine forests. At around 6pm you’ll be dropped back at your hotel.
Day 3 – Departure from Bariloche
After breakfast today, your trip to Bariloche comes to an end and you’ll get ready to hit the road again for your next destination in Argentina.

Bariloche - rafting
If you’re looking for an adrenaline kick, we can arrange a rafting trip on the Manso River. Along with a guide, you will tackle the rapids, surrounded by rugged mountains and lush green forests. The conditions are suitable for beginners, with enough of a challenge to keep more experienced rafters on their toes. After your time on the water, you will have time to relax with a snack and take in the surroundings before heading back to Bariloche.
