About this experience
We will pick you up at the central meeting points and depart from Bariloche, following the legendary Route 40 heading south towards El Bolsón. As we enter the imposing lower valley of the Manso River, the landscape transforms and takes us to the heart of the Patagonia Campestre complex, Punto Límite's base of operations.
Throughout the tour, the natural beauty of the Manso will surround you, offering you a unique perspective of this Andean region. When we reach the border with Chile, it will be time to return to base.
There a comforting lunch awaits us, ideal for sharing anecdotes and laughter about the journey. And if you feel that there is still energy to release, we recommend ending the day with a mini trekking to explore the Valdivian jungle, a green paradise that invites you to disconnect and get lost in its beauty.
