Lakes Of Patagonia

Meeting at the hotel in Bariloche. Dinner and briefing of the tour.

After a short drive, we get the bikes at the “Virgen de las Nieves” roundabout and immediately enter an area of low-difficulty trails to warm up. A few kilometers later we face the challenge of the day: a climb of just over 4km through the “Balcón del Gutiérrez” and we end up at the base of Cerro Catedral ski resort. After this hydration and refill stop, we return to the trails in the direction of “Colonia Suiza”, an old town created at the end of the 19th century by the Swiss immigrants. Before arriving we will enjoy incredible views of Lake Moreno. A well-deserved lunch and then we continue to start touring the “Small Circuit”, already on asphalt, passing through the famous “Panoramic Point”, Bahía López, Lago Escondido, Puerto Pañuelo and the Llao Llao hotel to ride again to our final destination of the day, where the van will be to take us back to the hotel. 

This morning we wake up surrounded by the Andes Mountains of Bariloche and by Lake Nahuel Huapi and prepare for a spectacular start. We drive towards the Manso River (70km), once there we prepare the bikes and cross the Manso river on a footbridge to start one of the best trails you can do! This trail takes you through local farms and forests, crossing rivers, visiting lonely Patagonian small lakes, while enjoying riding the bike on a typical Patagonian forest. The landscapes are worthy of a postcard, the trail is at times easy, at times more technical. After covering twenty two kilometers we will cross the Manso River again and arrive to the meeting point with the support vehicle. Time to enjoy a fantastic picnic by the riverbanks. With the bikes loaded in the trailer we return to Bariloche.
