Navigation on Lake Nahuel Huapi and Lake Frias.
This is the only company which has a concession to navigate from Puerto Pañuelo (Llao Llao) to Puerto Blest with a daily service.
For this part of the navigation you may hire a private service, though you must make sure that the company is licensed in the National Park.
- Rainy season or snowfall can make the trail way more difficult with snow, mud and very slippery.
- Have always in mind the catamaran departure time.
DESCRIPTION
This 3 km. trail is called “National Parks” and joins Puerto Blest to the trail up to Los Cántaros lake. It is very well marked and allows one to go deep into the rainforest called “Valdivian Forest”. There is a hanging bridge and many creek crossings on the way, with a great view of the whole Puerto Blest bay.
Pay attention to the catamaran timetables to head back to Bariloche.
To improve the trekking experience, it is recommended to contact a Mountain Guide authorized by the AAGM (Argentine Association of Mountain Guides)
