The guide provided interesting bits of information about the area. The van was comfortable. We were fortunate to have excellent weather. The trip included stops at a small church and a rose hip processing plant, which were not too interesting.”

The guides are outstanding and great conversationalists... we could have spent all day with Andy! Finally, lots of bonus features on this one. The route to and from the journey also takes you around the Circuito Chico sightseeing route, so you get to enjoy that tour as well. In addition, we had local snacks and a yerba mate experience while resting at the halfway point of our kayak trip. Basically a bunch of the Bariloche highlights all rolled into one!”
