A little paradise and a natural monument - daytrip to Victoria Island and the Arrayan Forrest (full day from Bariloche)
From Bariloche we travel by bus to Puerto Panuelo. From there a beautiful boat ride takes you to the small Island called Victoria, where one can ride by chair-lift up the slopes of mount "Bella Vista" or "beautiful view". At 900 m there is a native forest of huge Coigue and Cypress trees. We shall hike down on foot passing a series of incredible lookout points. From the Island of Victoria we shall continue the boat trip to Puerto Quetrihué, to see the world famous Arrayan forest. This is one of the last native forests of centenary Arrayan trees (worldwide). The forest is protected as a national monument. The Arrayan is a beautiful tree with a cinnamon color and wonderful white flowers. Return to Bariloche in the late afternoon.
