Enjoy a scenic journey between Chile and Argentina, crossing Patagonia by land and water. You’ll depart from Puerto Varas, driving along Lake Llanquihue with views of Osorno Volcano, then head to Lake Todos los Santos for your first cruise to Villa Peulla, a small mountain village surrounded by native forest.

Next, you’ll continue by vehicle to cross the border and reach Lake Frías, where you’ll board for a 25-minute cruise through striking Andean scenery. The route then continues to Puerto Blest, where you’ll start your third cruise across Lake Nahuel Huapi, with views of waterfalls, small islands, and the region’s iconic Patagonian vegetation.

The tour ends in Bariloche at Mitre 150. If you choose the round-trip option, you’ll return along the same route.
