It is a must-do tour for anyone visiting the region, as it combines history, nature and unique landscapes. It includes a navigation through one of the most emblematic environments of Nahuel Huapi National Park.
If you book the tour with transportation, you will be picked up at a pre-arranged meeting point in Bariloche to begin the 25 km journey to Port Pañuelo, where the boat departs.

During this walk, you will visit Playa del Toro, a site of great natural and cultural value, and explore the old forest nursery, an area where historic conservation projects are explained and where various native and exotic species that make up the island’s botanical heritage can be observed.
After enjoying Victoria Island, you will board the boat again to head towards the famous Arrayanes Forest. In this unique forest, you will walk along trails that wind through centuries-old arrayan trees, known for their cinnamon-colored bark and impressive height. You will also walk along wooden pathways that allow you to experience the environment up close without disturbing its ecology.

The walk allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings and observe the distinctive features of the arrayan tree in a completely natural environment.
