Pass through fragrant forests and quaint alpine-style villages, catching glimpses of the rugged Andes in the distance.

Visit the serene Lake Moreno and marvel at the pristine beauty of Lake Escondido – the “Hidden Lake” – before ascending to the famous Cerro Campanario viewpoint.

Set sail across the sapphire waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi on a scenic boat excursion to two of Bariloche’s most treasured natural wonders: Victoria Island and the ethereal Arrayanes Forest on the Quetrihué Peninsula. As the boat glides from the pier, watch the Andes rise in layered silhouettes while cormorants skim the surface and the wind carries the clean scent of native evergreens.

Your first stop is Victoria Island, a pristine reserve of lenga and coihue forest laced with quiet trails and pebble coves.

There’s time to wander the sandy beach, browse the small ranger station, or simply sit and absorb the stillness of Patagonia.

Back on board, continue to the Arrayanes Forest, a fairy-tale grove of cinnamon-barked arrayán trees (Chilean myrtle). Elevated wooden walkways weave through this otherworldly woodland, where the trunks glow in shades of amber and ochre and dappled light filters through glossy leaves. Your guide explains the ecology of these slow-growing trees and the conservation efforts that protect one of the world’s only pure arrayán forests.

Cruising homeward, warm up with a hot drink on deck and watch as afternoon light gilds Llao Llao peaks and the island-dotted lake.
