About this experience

We started the tour by transferring from the central hotels to Puerto Petunia, located 13.5 km from Bariloche, boarding at Lake Nahuel Huapi.
From there we will sail through the Bell Arm, bordering the San Pedro peninsula passing through Puerto Bueno, a bay of calm and transparent waters. In this section we can also observe Bahía Serena, Huemul Island, Isla de las Gallinas and Isla de las Gaviotas.
Considering the weather conditions, the trip continues along Lake Nahuel Huapi, heading towards the island of Víveres and Puerto Venado on the Neuquén Coast.
During the trip we anchor a beautiful bay of turquoise waters that offers Lake Nahuel Huapi, to enjoy infusions and crescents.
At the end, we return to Puerto Petunia, where the vehicle will take us back to the hotel.
