Description

Would you like to enjoy a stunning adventure in the deep-blue lakes of Patagonia? Then come to Bariloche for a 2-day kayaking experience to Brazo Tristeza!

San Carlos de Bariloche, most known as Bariloche, is at the foothills of the Andes mountain range, on the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake. Both the city and the lake are part of the Nahuel Huapi National Park, the oldest in Argentina. This beautiful area is one of the most popular skiing, trekking and mountaineering destinations in South America.

Nahuel Huapi, in northern Patagonia, is a 529 km2 deep-blue lake surrounded by lush forests and huge peaks. On this 2-day kayaking tour we will reach one of the seven branches of Brazo Tristeza.

Comfortable and stable kayaks will allow us to explore this pristine lake. We will reach amazing waterfalls and enjoy breathtaking views of the Andes mountains including Lopez, Capilla and Tronador, among others!

We can also try some easy hikes in the area. At night, we will sleep in tents very close the the lake, surrounded by fabulous natural scenery. You can check the complete itinerary below!

So, if you want to discover the beauty of Northern Patagonia, please contact me for this kayaking expedition to Brazo Tristeza. Let me guide you to one of the most remote spots of Nahuel Huapi Lake in Bariloche!

I also offer an exciting hiking adventure in this same National Park. Check it out here.

About the guide

Luciano

Mountain Guide

I grew up with my family in Patagonia, Argentina. My parents emigrated here from northern Italy, close to the Alps, after the the Second World War, looking for a better life and new opportunities.

My father, Felipe Frasson, nicknamed “Pippo” by his relatives and friends, fell in love with Patagonia, the Andes and the outdoor lifestyle, becoming a great rock climber, alpinist, genuine adventurer and explorer in the 1960- 75’. He did many successful expeditions and first ascents in Patagonia, Argentina and also in the Peruvian Andes.

During my childhood and adolescence, I spent long summers and winters with my family hiking, skiing, climbing and paddling in Bariloche and Patagonia, my place in the world. After graduating as a Physical Education teacher, lifeguard and a qualified mountain guide (member of AAGM), and after travelling all around Patagonia, Chile, Europe and the Dolomites, I founded SENZA LIMITI ADVENTURES.

As a guide, I want to pass on my passion for the mountains, nature and the outdoor lifestyle on to others, allowing me to share with visitors from all over the world the natural beauties of this magic land of adventurers & explorers.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
