Full-day small-group drive from Bariloche to San Martín de los Andes via the Camino de los 7 Lagos, with big lake views.
“The tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, the bus was very small and uncomfortable. I was the second-to-last person picked up from my hotel, so I ended up in a seat in the last row where I could barely see out the window. Since the whole trip was about the scenery, I didn’t get to see much at all. The price was also much higher than what other local travel agencies offered with their big, comfortable buses.”
Seven Lakes Road day trip from Bariloche to San Martín, with hotel pickup, big lake views, and 3 hours in town. Lunch on your own.
“This is just a coach/minibus trip stopping off at nice viewpoints of the 7 lakes, plus a couple of hours for lunch and a stroll in San Martin. So, you're not signing up for anything especially exciting or different. However, if you've come halfway across the world to visit this area (as we had), it's nice to take the opportunity to see a bit more of the surrounding area, as it is very beautiful scenery. Vivienne (guide) and Manuel (driver), were great people to spend the day with, being relaxed and humourous, but also offering a lot of information. The only thing we would have changed is the coffee stop…”
