Beautiful tour. I...

Beautiful tour. I recommend that during the lunch stop in Villa La Angostura you get something quick like an empanada and/or a helado (as opposed to a sit down meal) so that you have a fair amount of time to explore the town and its shops.

Nice overview of the Nahuel Huapi...

<p>Nice overview of the Nahuel Huapi National Park which strangely was not mentioned in the descriptions when we bought this tour. We made brief stops at the Limay River and beautiful Traful and Espejo Lakes and at a spot with breathtaking view of Bariloche, Nahuel Huapi Lake, and the Andes in the background. Lunch at a nice town of Villa La Angostura took too long service at the restaurant was very slow so we didn't get much time to look around the village. Overall, it was a great tour.</p>
