About this activity
A 10-hour alpine journey through two of Argentina's most spectacular national parks, connecting Bariloche to San Martín de los Andes via the legendary Seven Lakes Road. This scenic loop covers 352 km of pristine Patagonian landscapes, passing turquoise glacier-fed lakes, dense Andean forests, and charming mountain villages.
This full-day excursion from Bariloche covers 352 kilometers through the Nahuel Huapi and Lanín National Parks, starting from Bariloche along National Route 237 and traveling along the eastern end of Lake Nahuel Huapi to the Limay River.
Continuing along National Route 231, we border the lake along its northern shore up to Villa La Angostura, where we take a short break, to continue on our way to Lakes Espejo, Correntoso, Escondido, Villarino, Falkner, Machónico, and Lácar, on the shores of which the city of San Martín de los Andes is located.
The return to San Carlos de Bariloche is by the same route.
- Discover Villa La Angostura, a charming mountain village that will envelop you with its Andean charm and architecture.
