Isla Victoria and Bosque de Arrayanes: a magical journey through Patagonia-With transportation

An unmissable lake tour to discover two icons of Patagonia

Setting sail from the classic Puerto Pañuelo, this excursion invites you to navigate the deep waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi towards two unique natural wonders: the mystical Victoria Island and the Arrayanes Forest, the only one in the world with centuries-old specimens of this cinnamon-colored bark tree.

Itinerary of the experience

The first part of the tour takes us to the Quetrihué Peninsula, where you can walk among myrtle trees that have inspired tales and legends. Its magical appearance, its perfectly marked trails and the atmosphere of the place make this walk a multi-sensory experience.

Then, we sail to Puerto Anchorena on Victoria Island. There, trails with panoramic views, native flora and the famous Playa del Toro, which preserves archaeological remains such as cave paintings and volcanic sands that contrast with the blue of the lake await you.
