Arrayanes Forest & Island Victoria Nautical Excursion (half day):

From Pañuelo Harbor (at km. 25 of Bustillo Av.) we sail one hour North West wards through Lake Nahuel Huapi to Arrayanes Harbor. This port is located on Quetrihue Peninsula on Los Arrayanes National Park. These native trees (ArrayÃn, Luma apiculata) which are related to the Australian eucalyptus, are generally found as isolated bushes, forming in this ocation a unique tall and old forest of many trees. These trees have cinnamon color bark, white small flowers that bloom in summer and an eatable black fruit. Here we have about 45 minutes to walk inside the forest (always on the marked path) before taking the boat to Victoria Island. Once on the island (lunch time if we took the wwhole day tour) there are two options to have a fast and simple lunch: by the lake or at the top of the Mount Bellavista to which we get by a short chairlift. Next we can take the guided walk into the ancient pine forest, which has been planted at the beginning of twentieth century as timber, preserved nowadays as a tourist attractive. We sail back to Pañuelo harbor sailing for about half an hour and then driving back to Bariloche.
