About This Tour
A five-day lakes-and-volcanoes crossing from Chile's Puerto Varas, over the Andes lakes by boat, into Bariloche in Argentina. Two nights are in Chile (Puerto Varas, in the Lake District) before the route crosses the Andes lakes by boat into Argentina for two final nights in the Bariloche area. Every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
