7 lakes road by bike with catamaran | Bike & Boat

 

Another way to complete the 7 lakes biketrip, for those who want something different, is to do it by combining the bicycle with the traditional catamaran tour around Victoria Island and the Arrayanes National Park.

 

The journey begins in the center of Bariloche, you must pedal 24 km to Puerto Pañuelo, in front of the Llao Llao hotel. There you must embark with bicycles.

 

The boat takes approximately 90 minutes to reach the Arrayanes forest. There you must disembark and pedal along a singletrack of low technical difficulty until you arrive to Villa la Angostura. This first stage can be done in one day, and the rest of the trip consists of 120km, which is the distance between Villa la Angostura and San Martín de los Andes.

 

The CAU CAU catamaran is one of the options to go to the Arrayanes Forest. The other company is Turisur

 

This lake transfer service has an approximate cost of US $ 37 per person and must be paid directly to the company that does it.

Andean Trail (Huella Andina in spanish) is the first long-distance trail developed in the Argentine Republic. The route runs through the southwestern sector of the Patagonian region of this country

 

This trip under the "bikepacking" mode from Bariloche to El Bolsón covers approximately 150km and has all the types of roads you can imagine. Trails, singletracks, doubletracks, dirt roads and asphalt. It is a perfect combination that adds adrenaline and a dose of adventure to cycletouring as never before.

What is Bikepacking exactly?

 

Bikepacking is the most adventurous way to travel by bicycle; a bike, small amount of luggage and several kilometers ahead of roads, trails or tracks. As you can see in the photo, the luggage is reduced to the handlebar area (tent and sleeping bag), the bicycle frame (tools and food) and the large under seat bag (clothing).

 

Unlike pannier cycling, bikepacking gives us greater freedom when choosing the routes. The load is much smaller and the absence of luggage rack and large panniers on the sides allows us to pedal along narrow gravel roads, trails, singletracks and places of greater technical difficulty.

 

You have to be minimalistic when choosing what to take. We recommend this setup to those who have previous experience with MTB bicycles in areas of moderate difficulty and camping experience.

Mount Tronador gravel adventure

 

An excellent option for those who prefer to cycle on gravel roads is to visit Mount Tronador and "Los Alerces Waterfall".

 

You should pedal about 40 km to the campsite Los Rapidos or La Querencia located at the south shore of Lake Mascardi. A good option is to build a base there. The campsites have supplies, buffet, hot water, space for tents and cabins. Once the base is settled at the campsite, you can cycle in and out during the day to the black snowdrift glacier, or ride the road that leads to Los Alerces Waterfall.

This biketrip can be combined with hiking and trekking along the slopes of the imposing Cerro Tronador. Suggested time 3 to 4 days.

 

The Pampa Linda area, right beside Mount Tronador has also 3 beautiful campsites, hostelry and grocery store. The possibilities are numerous, and the bike will give you  freedom to travel these roads until you know every corner of this wonderful tourist circuit.

One way trip to Chile | Return with minibus

 

Bicycle touring offers us a huge ammount of possibilities. The dream of many cyclists is to cross the Andes and reach the Pacific.

 

The one-way trip to Chile is an epic adventure. You can pedal through the different border crossings, many of which are gravelly and little traveled. Once you cross the "Cordillera de los Andes" you can descend from 1500 meters to the sea level, in relatively few kilometers. This makes it even more fun.

 

You can cross the Andes through the Hua-Hum pass, Carirriñe, Tromen, Samore and the Andean crossing pass through Puerto Blest with the Catamaran. To achieve this, we can coordinate your return with a minibus with our trailer to bring bicycles and equipment.

 

In this case, you can choose between different destinations. You can end your trip in Ensenada, Puerto Varas,  Puerto Montt, Pucón, or some small coastal town in the Pacific Ocean, and celebrate the success of your journey, with a typical dinner of fresh seafood.

 

* Recommended for large groups

* Only the rental of equipment and the minibus is paid.

 

The trailer to bring the bicycles back is FREE of charge
