Day 2: Llanada Grande After breakfast we have the choice of a walk to Valley of the Huemules, carrying our lunch, or a horseback ride through the Puelo River valley enjoying beautiful landscapes in the heart of the Andes. There will be a chance to observe a variety of birds such as Condors, Eagles, the Chucao Tapaculo, and the Ringed Kingfisher. We return to the lodge where after a restoring sauna we enjoy a delicious supper and then drift off to sleep. (B, BL, D)
Day 3: Llanada Grande / El Bolsón We depart from the lodge to Lago Azul. After walking approximately 45 minutes we arrive at this wonderful lake, where a boat awaits us to take us on our first sail through its intensely blue waters. On disembarking on the opposite shore we walk some 30 minutes to Lago Las Rocas. Here we embark again to sail this wonderful lake. A half-hour’s sail brings us to the Lago Inferior area where Chilean border police check our travel documents. We have lunch on the shore of this beautiful lake before our final sail towards the Argentine border. Lake Inferior connects with Lake Puelo through a short stretch of river. Once there we go through Argentine border control, then sail on to the pier on Lake Puelo. From here we travel 20 kilometers to El Bolson, where we settle into our accommodations and enjoy a good supper. (B, BL, D)
