Bariloche: Exploration Brazo Tristeza - Navigation

By Expetravel / Azul Latina
What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Among the innumerable options that the Nahuel Huapi National Park offers, there is a little-known route but no less spectacular for that. From Bahía López, 25 km from Bariloche, you can get to the Brazo Tristeza by motor boat. There, if the day is clear, you can see the glaciers at the top of Cerro Tronador, the highest in the park. When we reach the end of this Arm, we descend to land to walk a path through a dense forest, in which species known as the coihue and the cane alternate. Then we arrive at the Frey Stream Cascade. The flow of this stream varies according to the time of year, producing a peculiar and characteristic sound, which is generated when the water runs between wells, on a bed of rock polished by years of erosion.

          Great Day trip to the 7 lakes and San Martin de los Andes
          The day started with the Guide picking us up from in front of the hotel, it’s a good idea to leave your mobile number when booking the trip because it was super easy to stay in contact with the agency. The omnibus that picked us up was a very clean one, air conditioning and we made sufficient stops on the way to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Isis, our guide, made the trip very interesting for us, she told us stories of the lake’s names, history of the area, history of Nahuel Huapis national park, its emblem, story about Lanin national park and its emblem. We stayed in San Martin de los Andes city and enjoyed walking around, having lunch and spending some time by the lake. This was a great time to spend the day in Patagonia.

          Best panorama in Bariloche
          Amazing spot! The best place to see surroundings and beautiful panorama. I loved this place the most in Bariloche. Don’t miss it! I would recommend taking a short hike to the hill instead of elevators. Hike is short and less people. It’s 1 km uphill. Not too hard.

          Checking the ice
          The layout of the complex is beautiful, full of energy . We couldn’t take the lift since the line was so long. The runs were icy since the last snow came 3 week ago.

          Gorgeous views!
          The ferry was very full and was a pretty ride. The woman on board made it very easy to know when to disembark and where to head. We did the Frias Lake and it was so pretty! It was like a sea-foam green color and wonderful to look at. We had about 30 minutes a the port there and then opted to walk back to Puerto Blest instead of taking the bus back. I love otters and we were trying to find some (we didn't). We then took in all of Puerto Blest. Very pretty teal water. We then did the Cantaros Waterfall, which was nice. We had come back from Iguazu, so this wasn't as vast or impressive, but was still really pretty! Nice tour!

        Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
        Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

        Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

        A very nice excursion lasting 4 hours. Navigation from Puerto López (with breakfast included) until reaching the Valdivian jungle, where you can hike (low difficulty) to the Frey waterfall (very beautiful). 100% recommended

        De las mejores experiencias!!! Unos paisajes increíbles, el paseo en barco espectacular. Nico, el guía, un genio total, todo lo que sabe y cómo explica. Se nota que le encanta lo que hace. Te reciben a bordo con café y budines. La caminata es sencilla, nosotros fuimos con nenes de 2 y 4 años y estuvo perfecto. En el viaje de vuelta podes almorzar pizza que cocinan ellos 👌🏼 Vale la pena! Lo súper recomendamos!! Gracias!!

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
