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.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
