(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
San Martin de los AndesPass-by Only
Our journey begins with the pick-up of each passenger at their hotels in San Martin de los Andes. Once everyone is aboard, we'll depart from the town and head towards our destination.
Cerro Colorado
Leaving behind the urban landscape, we'll traverse the pampas and enter a majestic lenga forest. Towering trees and Colihues reedbeds will guide our way as we venture deeper into the wilderness.
Lago Lacar
As we ascend, the vegetation will gradually thin out, revealing panoramic vistas of the sprawling Lacar Basin. At certain points, we'll catch glimpses of the shimmering waters of Lake Lacar below, adding to the allure of our journey. The summit of Cerro Colorado awaits us, offering a clear view of 360 degrees. From here, we'll marvel at the sight of Lake Lacar, the mountain range of Chapelco, Cerro Abanico, Cerro Sabana, Mallo, Lago Lolog, Lanin Volcano, and countless other points of reference.
