Day 2: Bike to Falkner Lake or the Cordoba Pass

Today will be spent mountain biking, with a choice of two different routes:

Filo Hua Hum Lake and Falkner Lake – A slightly more challenging route that sticks to gravel roads and forest trails. Rest at the lake shore and take a dip if you're feeling brave!

The Cordoba Pass – An easier gravel road that heads predominantly downhill through green valleys and steep mountains with rock walls dramatically carved out by the water and ice.

Note: This includes transfer from hotel, bike and helmet, bike guide, lunch and insurance

Day 3: Trek to Cerro Falkner

After a hearty breakfast, your mountain guide will meet you and transport you to the base of Cerro Falkner (2350m) in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. The ascent itself takes about three hours of medium-level difficulty.

Trek through nire and lenga woods and keep an eye out for condors, foxes and ducks. Once you reach the summit ridge, you will be rewarded with mesmerising views of Lake Villarino and Lake Filo Hua Hum as well as the snow-capped peak of Lanín Volcano.

Once back at the base of the mountain, you'll be transported back to your hotel to enjoy a relaxing evening in comfort.

Day 4: Kayak on Lake Machónico

It's time to get out on the water as you decide between kayaking or rowing on Lake Machónico, accompanied by your rowing guide. Like many of the lakes in the Argentinian Lake District, Lake Machónico is fed by glaciers, providing crystal-clear water. Surrounded by conifer forests, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely paddle whilst exploring the various beaches.
