Patagonia Kayaking Adventure

Day 1: Arrive Bariloche

Arrive in Bariloche at any time. Meet at the hotel for a pre-departure meeting with the local tour guide. Afterwards, take the time to explore the city, buy some of the city's world famous chocolates and enjoy a typical Argentine dinner at a local restaurant. Situated on the beautiful shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi, Bariloche is a year-round playground for skiers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all types. Take an optional day hike, hire a mountain bike, or simply relax in a cafe. The urban centre of the Argentine Lake District, San Carlos de Bariloche in many ways resembles alpine resorts of Europe. During winter ski season the town fills to capacity with jovial Argentine and Brazilian vacationers whose favourite pastime seems to be eating and drinking. Their gusto is understandable as Bariloche has some of the best food in the country. Sample a beefy parrillada, a variety of fresh salmon and lake trout or some of Bariloche's famous chocolate, then work it off during a day hike around Cerro Catedral or while practicing your salsa at one of the town's salsotecas.

Day 2-3: Kayak expedition

Wake early for breakfast before being picked up to be taken to the set-off point. You may leave any extra bags at the hotel. Put your kayak in lake Nahuel Huapi and paddle through Brazo Tristeza to arrive at your campsite in the evening. After breakfast on Day 3, take a short hike to Frey Waterfall before heading back to the lake for the paddle back to the city. The evening is free to take a hot bath and enjoy one last dinner in this charming town.
