About this activity
Combine lake cruising with two distinct forest ecosystems on this full-day excursion from Bariloche. A catamaran journey across Nahuel Huapi Lake connects visits to an endangered arrayán forest in Los Arrayanes National Park and a pristine coniferous woodland on Victoria Island, offering Patagonian nature and mountain scenery in a single itinerary.
Enjoy a sightseeing cruise on spectacular Nahuel Huapi Lake and visit two unique forest habitats on this day trip from Bariloche. Ride a catamaran to Quetrihué Peninsula and enjoy a nature walk through the remaining arrayán forest in Los Arrayanes National Park. Then, stroll through a coniferous forest on Victoria Island, with amazing views of the lake and its surroundings.
