“A good 4-6 h tour with a rental bicycle. Lots of nice places to stop if you bring your own food. Wed and Sun you can add extra 6 km and go to Colonia Suiza for lunch. We hired bikes from the place right on the start Chio adventure. Really nice guys and the bikes were very good. Get the 20 bus from the Bariloche. It is a bit tough at times but the views and places to stop are fab. If you are going to Bariloche this is a must do day.”
Best trip ever!

“Bariloche has long been on my travel bucket list, and my recent journey through the Seven Lakes region was nothing short of breathtaking. This trip was an exhilarating exploration of nature's wonders, and it left me with memories to last a lifetime. The adventure began in Bariloche, where I was welcomed by the stunning views of Lake Nahuel Huapi and the majestic Andes Mountains. The picturesque town itself had a charming alpine feel, and it was the perfect starting point for our adventure through the Seven Lakes. Each lake we visited had its unique charm and beauty, from Lake Correntoso with its mesmerizing deep blue waters to Lake Villarino, surrounded by serene forests. Each stop provided a different perspective of nature's grandeur. If you're seeking an adventure in the heart of Patagonia, I highly recommend exploring the Seven Lakes.”

“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.”
