Puerto Blest, Cántaros Waterfall, and Frías Lake from Bariloche

Description

🌿 An expedition to Patagonia that you will remember for a lifetime

  • Can you imagine sailing between mountains covered in jungle, listening to the roar of a hidden waterfall, and reaching an emerald lake that looks hand-painted?

    This is not a fantasy landscape. It is     Puerto Blest and Lago Frías, a corner so deep and vibrant in the Nahuel Huapi National Park that it seems made to stay in memory.

    You board, cross waters of glacial origin, walk among wet jungle walkways, climb stairs surrounded by ancient trees, and suddenly... there it is:     the Cascade of the Jugs, falling among the vegetation like a secret that Patagonia kept for centuries.

    But that's not all. The adventure continues at     Lago Frías, an impossible green mirror that makes you doubt if what you see is real. In the midst of stillness, nature breathes. And so do you.

"When we arrived at Lago Frías, there was a general silence. It was like being inside a documentary." — Luis, Córdoba
