Regular Navigation tour to isla Victoria and Bosque Arrayanes

On this tour, we will visit the largest island on Lake Nahuel Huapi, covering 32 km², protected since 1934 by the Nahuel Huapi National Park.

Experience the incredible scenery of the region’s exotic flora and fauna, including a visit to the “last natural forest of Arrayán trees.”

Our journey begins by boarding the boat at Puerto Pañuelo to navigate the blue waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi and marvel at the wonderful landscape. After 30 minutes of sailing, we will arrive at the Anchorena port, located in the central area of the island, where all boats arrive.

There, we have a snack bar, cafeteria, and the option to ascend by chairlift to the summit of Bella Vista Hill (optional for purchase on the island). Surrounded by centuries-old sequoias, cypresses, and coihues, we’ll have a panoramic view of the island and the majestic Lake Nahuel Huapi. We will descend through trails with spectacular natural viewpoints.

We then take the boat again for a navigation to the Quetrihue port, where we will visit the world-renowned Bosque de Arrayanes (Myrtle Forest), the inspiration for Walt Disney’s creation of the movie Bambi. This tree species has the particularity of having a cool, smooth, cinnamon-colored bark with white spots. Its flowers are white, similar to orange blossoms, and its violet fruit has a delicious flavor, making it unique in the genus.

After touring this dreamlike forest, we board again for our return to Puerto Pañuelo, pondering what our next nature challenge will be.
