We will meet at our meeting point to depart Puerto Varas and take the route that borders Lake Llanquihue to head towards Todos Los Santos Lake and passes by Petrohué Falls. This is how we will start the Andean Lakes Crossing tour, with the first boat ride with views of Osorno Volcano and the mountains of the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. Then, we will reach our first landing spot, Villa Peulla, a mountain town surrounded by lush vegetation and Andean landscapes that are typical for this part of the south of Chile. From here, we will take a 4x4 vehicle to cross the mountains, where we will pass through the border point control and go through all the corresponding procedures to cross the border.
Once in Argentina, we will take a 25-minute boat ride on Lake Frías. Then we will continue on the route that will take us along the Frías River until Blest Port, where we will start our third boat trip. We will make this trip on the most important branch of Lake Nahuel Huapi, and we will get some spectacular views from aboard the boat of the islets, waterfalls, and vegetation. After this part of the trip, we will arrive at the Llao Llao Peninsula, where we will disembark and take our land transportation to finish the trip to Bariloche. This is how we will end this journey through the mountain landscapes of the Andes Cordillera.
