Bariloche
After breakfast, at 9:00 am you're picked up for the Victoria Island and Arrayanes Forest boat trip. You'll head out from Puerto Pañuelo and cross Lake Nahuel Huapi to reach Port Quetrihue. Once there, you get to walk through trails in the Arrayanes Forest, which is pretty unusual since it's the only place in the world with this particular type of ancient myrtle trees that are over 500 years old. Later you travel to Puerto Anchorena where different pathways let you explore more of the area with natural viewpoints overlooking Nahuel Huapi National Park. The boat brings you back to your accommodation by evening.
