What To Expect
Puerto Panuelo
Prepare to experience sailing on Lake Nahuel Huapi, through its most impressive arm, the Blest Arm. Departing from Puerto Pañuelo, on the Llao Llao Peninsula, this excursion offers a one-hour boat trip to Centinela Islet, where the remains of Francisco Pascasio Moreno, the father of Argentina's National Parks, rest, before arriving at the Cántaros Waterfall. Ascending a stepped path, you'll venture into the lush vegetation of the Valdivian rainforest, reach Lake Cántaros, the source of the waterfall, and admire the presence of the imposing alerce tree, over 1,500 years old.
Puerto Blest & Cascada de los Cantaros
After a mere five more minutes of sailing, you finally arrive at Puerto Blest, a place that has captivated tourists from all over the world for years. From there, you can visit the bay and explore the shores of Lake Frías, whose unique green waters originate from one of the glaciers on Mount Tronador, the natural border between Argentina and Chile. As an optional extension of this magnificent excursion, you can sail across Lake Frías, pass by the Condor's Nest Wall, and, weather permitting, see the imposing Mount Tronador.
