excellent travel experience - don't miss it, it is a great tour, you will see lakes, water falls, wild life, in a full day tour. Be prepared for a nice lunch at a place that has just one building, the hotel and restaurant!

Worth every dollar, beautiful experience - Excellent experience. It's a very long day, but the views are spectacular and the guides are very professional. You don't worry about a thing, just follow the instructions. For the cost, it beats just taking a bus from Puerto Varas to Bariloche. The stop in Peulla was a very pleasant addition, we did the 4X4 excursion which was well worth it, even though lunch had to be quick. Our initial guide Guillermo was top notch. I would recommend it without a doubt.

5 ladies - Beautiful scenery. I enjoyed It very much. Puerto Varas is a small nice Town easy to walk with very nice people. The road part is open stony road own by a tour Company. The Catamarans that navigate the 3 lakes are more or confortable Bariloche You cannot miss. We slept at the Radisson Hotel Puerto Varas and Edleweiss Hotel in Bariloche. Both very nice I would say 3.5 Star hotels.

Highlight of a trip to South America - Because we had excellent weather, this crossing of the Andes by boat and bus was a great experience. The scenery, the history, and our guide all made it a memorable and unique.

Long day but totally worthwhile - As long as you’re up for a 14 hr day DO IT ! Obviously the better the weather, the better the scenery . Our weather improved as the day went on , so by the time we reached the last boat we could see all the snow capped peaks . However, even shrouded in cloud and misty rain it was a great experience . Well organised and seamless trip with our luggage taken care of all the way . The 3 hr lunch stop at Puella seemed unnecessarily long , but many did sign up for the extra activities . We passed the time happily with a walk and a bottle of red wine over lunch ! There was no town there , just a hotel with a restaurant and a more casual bar , so unless you want a really quiet rest or to do lots of adventure activities don’t break the journey there . Overall the 4 buses and 3 boats with a variety of guides was a wonderful experience .

Wonderful way to sit in the lake and mountains to experience the terrain - By bus and by boat, don't miss this way to see the lake district from Chile to Argentina. Long day, but well-paced. Couldn't stop taking photos!

Beautiful but tiring - This is a good sample of what you can expect from the magnificent scenery this region can provide. Be prepared to arrive in Bariloche tired but with spectacular pictures.

Expensive for what it is, but not terrible. Poorly organised. - Currently on this trip and it’s ok. Lots of hanging around, which is fine, but communication isn’t strong point. Amazing weather and scenery but the organisation isn’t great. The itinerary said we were due to depart for the final sailing to Bariloche at 17.00, it’s now 18.00 and no boat. Not impressed as feel like a captive tourist waiting around for three hours doing nothing.
