Description

After picking you up at your lodging, we will depart Bariloche for the south, skirting lakes such as Lakes Gutiérrez, Mascardi, and Guillermo. The El Bolsón & Lake Puelo tour continues with the route that passes through the Pampa del Toro and Cañadón de la Mosca until reaching the town of El Bolsón. This city is known for its microclimate, and thanks to this, the chance to plant a wide array of fruit trees. It also features a regional market that brings together people who create different products such as ceramics, wool, wood, leather, and metal, among other things. During the tour we will be able to visit the market and buy a souvenir if we wish. Lastly, we will visit Lake Puelo, with emerald green water that is a true natural spectacle.

*If your accommodation is an Airbnb, we will need to set a meeting point to start the tour, as pick-up is not available at this type of lodging.
