Highly Recommended!

5 - Excellent

Luna Sinclair

“If you are planning traveling to Bariloche, I highly recommend visiting Lake Espejo, is a small, pristine oasis. It's perfect for travelers looking to unwind in a tranquil setting. I spent a blissful afternoon picnicking by its shores, enjoying the reflective beauty of the lake's surface. Also, lake Moreno is worth visiting, provided a serene contrast to the grandeur of Nahuel Huapi. Nestled in the midst of thick forests, this lake feels like a hidden treasure. A peaceful hike along its shores allowed for close encounters with the local flora and fauna, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing day outdoors.”

Most amazing 10 days

“I've had the most amazing 10 day experience in Costa Rica with this tour company. The tour was very well thought of, having a great balance of thrilling activities and rest moments. Our guide Manu was amazing from start to finish, making sure everyone was having a good time and finding the best restaurants and party spots in each city. Very beautiful country, mind blowing scenery and adrenaline packed activities, everything was there to make this trip unforgettable.”

Leo Donovan

“The trip trough the Seven Lakes began with a warm welcome at the hotel by a lovely local guide who instantly made me feel at ease. Our guide's extensive knowledge of the region, combined with their enthusiasm, made every excursion an educational and enjoyable experience. Their passion for Bariloche was contagious. What truly stood out was the exhilarating water activities on Lake Espejo. I embarked on a kayaking adventure, allowing me to get up close and personal with the clear waters and immerse myself in the serene ambiance of the lake. I definitely recommend this trip if you are planning visiting Bariloche.”
