Lake Tour

Arrayanes National Park

Brenda with Diego our Guide

The Ferry

We started the day by a walk around the town and a visit to the local museum which we found to be interesting and informative.

We the boarded the bus which took us to the town of Villa La Angastura on the eastern side of lake Nahuel Huapi where we boarded a catamaran ferry for a visit to Parque Nacional Los Arrayanes.  At this national park is the biggest concentration of rare arrayanes trees (myrtles).  I was told that the other large concentratin of these trees was wiped out during WWII in Hiroshima.

We then boarded the ferry for Isla Victoria which is a beautiful arboretum with a wide variety of tall trees and is also a tree nursury.  During our walk we saw a grove of Tasmanian Eucalypts.

Brenda in Perspective

We then headed back to Bariloche.  It had a somewhat difficult day beacause the cloud, a big of fog, and frequent drizzle which hampered the visibility.
