Kayak and Hike in Lago Mascardi - Full Day Tour in Private Service

Be prepared to explore the natural wonders of Bariloche from the water and forest: At the appropriate time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel and drive you on a 1-hour journey towards the coast of “Mascardi Lake”.

Mascardi Lake is located inside Nahuel Huapi National Park (entrance fee not included). This National Park was created to preserve local flora and fauna, including its Andean-Patagonian forests and some threatened or endangered animals. Prepare your camera to capture some native birds in this particular environment!

Once at the coast of Mascardi Lake, you will have an introduction to the basic technique of touring kayaking and safety equipment. Afterwards, the moment you were waiting for: Time to grab your oars and plunge in! From here, you’ll start a 2-hour medium-difficulty kayak through the deep blue lake waters, surrounded by magnificent views of Andes Mountain Range and lush forests. Kayaking on this amazing Patagonian lake, in total harmony with nature, is a breathtaking experience.
**Some birds you might see during the paddling: Big macá, white heron, austral bandurria, among others.

You will paddle up to "Leones Beach", one of the most beautiful ones in the National Park. From here, you will start a 1-hour nature-oriented hike up the hills through the evergreen forest, heading to the beautiful "Llum Lagoon". Upon return, we’ll share a time to relax on the beach by the lakeshore, where you’ll enjoy a country lunch.

After admiring this nice beach for the last time, we will take our kayaks and paddle back to the starting point, from where you will be driven back to your hotel. **Transportation duration will depend on the location of your hotel. **Please note that as it is a private tour, times involved in the activities can be adapted to the travellers' preferences and / or possibilities.
