Start your adventure by fueling up with a delicious lunch of classic Argentine fare • Local wranglers saddle up horses before you head into the backcountry, gaucho-style • Ride in the vast steppe landscape, with views of vast Lake Nahuel Huapi, the namesake of the national park you’ll spend the week exploring • Cozy mountain hospitality and chic design combine at our serene woodland hotel • Climb to a soaring alpine box canyon where a delicate meadow above tree line is overshadowed by walls of granite • Stroll the rustic frontier village of Villa La Angostura. 

Hike up the rugged slopes of Cerro Villegas with sweeping lake views and discover a high-altitude cave gaping into the mountainside • Take to white water rafts for a splash-filled ride down the Class II and III rapids of the Río Manso • Venture high into the alpine meadow of Pampa Linda, where waterfalls tumble down the cliffs from spectacular hanging glaciers • Listen for the rumble of glaciers calving high on the mountain, which earned the park’s highest peak the name Cerro Tronador (Mount Thundering) • Gather alfresco for a classic Argentine-style asado, or cookout—as much a culinary experience as it is a social one. 

Meet up with sturdy hybrid bikes to spend the morning cycling a mix of country byways and dirt roads along the shore of Lago Gutiérrez • Take a heart-pumping detour of the switchbacks of Balcón Gutiérrez (Gutiérrez Balcony) for soaring lake views, or beeline it to lunch • Take in a brewery tour and beer tasting in Colonia Suiza, a frontier village whose whimsical rustic architecture leans into the heritage of its Swiss founders • Opt for an afternoon long option pedaling a section of the Circuito Chico, a world-renowned scenic route which ribbons high above the Lake District’s lakes • Hike through trees shaggy with moss and chase sweeping vistas of Lake Nahuel Huapi on the slopes of Cerro Llao Llao • Tackle a morning climb to the summit of Cerro Campanario for a last view of the national park and its lakes.
