The Alerces Safari
4 Days / 3 Nights

This safari will drive through the most scenic areas South of Bariloche. We start driving along the Mascardi and Guillelmo Lakes towards the Steffen Lake, where you can do rafting (optional). Then we go to El Bolsón, beautiful small town famous for its craftman’s open market. Travelling South, we will go to Los Alerces National Park and see the beautiful green colors of the Arrayanes river, the place where Butch Cassidy lived in hiding for long time.

Day 1
Today we go south, passing the Gutierrez, Mascardi and Guillelmo lakes, through the valley between the Ventana Range and the Catedral (an important ski resort). After 65 miles of incredible views from mountains and lakes, we turn right to get into the heart of the Andes at the Paraje El Manso, very close to the border with Chile. It's a good place to relax and enjoy nature, but also we will have the oportunity (optional) of river rafting (degree III+). We are going to spend the night at the beach.

Day 2
An early bath at the river is not a bad idea to start the day with. After having a filling breadfast we head south again. In the evening before getting to the town of El Bolsón, it's time to go shopping! we stock up on supplies. We'll continue our trip south, it's time to change provinces, once we get to Los Alerces National Park, we'll be in Chubut, living Río Negro behind. These is the land where Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid spent part of their life. We are going to spend the night at the amazing Lake Verde, in a very equipped camping. We stay here for two nights.

Day 3
We'll discover the wonders of these National Park, by hiking trough the Patagonian rainforest. Here is were the millenary Alerce tree lives and also exuberant forest (optional tour). Good posibillities for fly casting , canoing or horse back ride. Our last night in the nature would be a good time to share an "asado" (BBQ) with patagonian lamb.

Day 4
