About this activity

A 9-hour scenic coach journey from Bariloche through Argentina's legendary Route of the Seven Lakes, culminating in 3 hours of free exploration in San Martín de los Andes—a postcard-perfect alpine town nestled between Patagonian peaks and glacial Lácar Lake. This is the quintessential way to experience the region's dramatic mountain-and-lake geography in a single day.

Venture along the Road of the Seven Lakes from Bariloche to San Martín de los Andes, a charming mountain town situated between Andean peaks on the picturesque shores of glacial Lácar Lake. 

Your scenic coach trip takes you past vivid landscapes of natural beauty, including Nahuel Huapi Lake and the stunning seven, with commentary from your guide along the way. Enjoy a brief stop in Villa La Angostura plus three hours of free time to explore lovely San Martín!

Highlights

  • ✓Drive the iconic Route of the Seven Lakes with professional narration
  • ✓Stop at Villa La Angostura, a picturesque colonial-style village
  • ✓3 hours free time to explore San Martín de los Andes at your own pace

Insider tips

  • ★Bring a good camera and arrive early to secure a window seat on the coach for unobstructed lake and mountain views.
  • ★Use your 3 hours in San Martín wisely: grab lunch at a lakeside café first, then explore the main plaza and artisan shops.
  • ★The drive itself is the main attraction—the landscape commentary from your guide often reveals details you'd miss from a self-drive.
  • ★Wear layers; weather in the mountains changes quickly, and you'll want flexibility for the stops and walking around town.
