After packing our personal belongings in the waterproof compartments. Then we will start our kayaking trip along the northeastern branch of the Mascardi Lake.

Day 2:
 After a delicious homemade breakfast, we will pack our camp and continue kayaking towards the Tronador lake branch. Here, we will paddle around the heart-shaped Corazón Island, as we notice that the water becomes deep greenish turquoise colour as a result of the sediments brought by the Manso River from the Mount Tronador glaciers. One of its beaches will be the ideal location to enjoy a picnic, surrounded by the marvellous views of the National Park. In the afternoon, we will continue paddling in the waters of this beautiful Mascardi lake until we get to a superb bay with a breathtaking view of the Mount Tronador and its southeast slope. Here, we will set camp and spend the second night.

The next day we will pack our camp and start the last leg of our journey on our sea kayaks. We will visit the outflow of the Manso River and explore the southwest lakeshore. Among the highlights of this kayaking journey are the Bonete and Cresta de Gallo mounts. We will keep on paddling slowly towards the south until we get to our final destination. Here, our vehicle awaits us to take us back to Bariloche. A well-deserved shower will be our reward for having embarked on this sea kayaking adventure in the Argentine Patagonia.
