Trip from Bariloche to San Martin de los Andes

The bus is very small and very uncomfortable for such a long trip! Only 2 hours in San Martin ! Its more like a sightseeing trip ! One technical stop and couple of stops at lakes in La ruta de los 7 lagos! Natalia was our guide and she is Amazing !!

Great scenery. But.. with no English guide

This is a well organised tour of the Lakes with all the key stops. Unfortunately despite a notice the tour would be in Englih it turned out to be Spanish speaking only. Viator did refund a portion of the fee whilst the guide himself along with some support of fellow travellers made sure we understood pick up instructions etc. Despite this I would still recommend the tour but double check it is in your language.

San Martin de los Andes and 7 Lagos was amazing!

San Martin de los Andes and 7 Lagos was an amazing tour. Expect to be in the bus at least two hours straight in a winding road after lunch, as you head back, but overall, it’s a great experience. The views were breathtaking. Highly recommend!. Celeste, the tour guide, was great too!
