Day 1 Puerto Montt

Upon arrival in Puerto Montt, you'll transfer to the lovely city of Puerto Varas, the "City of Roses," to stay in a private guesthouse for the night. Overnight in Puerto Varas.

Day 2 Lake Crossing (B)

Today you travel across land and lakes by buses and boats, beginning with a bus to Petrohue. From Petrohue Pier you take a modern catamaran for the crossing of Todos los Santos Lake, with water of such a deep green hue that it is also known as “Emerald Lake.” During the crossing you will have stunning views of the Osorno, Puntiagudo and Tronador volcanoes. By late morning you will arrive at Peulla, with time for lunch and/or a short walk before boarding a bus to Puerto Frias. After checking with the Chilean custom offices, your journey takes you through a beautiful Andean rainforest up to an altitude of 2,900 feet. After a check-in with the Argentine police, you will navigate across Lake Frias to the village of Puerto Alegre. A short bus ride through an Andean larch forest takes you to Puerto Blest, where you will board another modern motor-catamaran to take you across Lake Nahuel Huapi to Puerto Panuelo.

Your day of travel ends around 9 p.m. with a short bus ride to the Edelweiss Hotel in Bariloche, the famous Argentine vacation center. Overnight in Bariloche.

For those who want a more relaxing day, a stroll around the city is a rewarding option, as Bariloche is famous for its alpine architecture and European feel. And if you have a sweet tooth, you're in the right spot - Bariloche is renowned for its chocolates, sold in dozens of stores throughout the city. Overnight in Bariloche.
