Biking Journey in Lakes district of Patagonia
Mountain bike trips

Biking Journey in lakes district of Patagonia is an amazing trip mountain biking through the best sceneries and circuits of the region.

The mountain biking journey begins in Bariloche biking though the lake region and Andean circuits by Nahuel Huapi and Moreno lake circled by López and Bella Vista mountains with its panoramic view points.

Then we continue on the river Manso valley, at South end of the Nahuel Huapi National Park on a trail that goes along the river to the Argentine Chilean border.

With surprising views of the mount Tronador East face and emerald waters of Mascardi lake we follow the road to Pampa Linda, a small settlement at the foot of Mount Tronador with glaciers and waterfalls.

Then we leave behind the mountain area to enter the Patagonian steppe region. An amazing downhill from “Paso del Córdoba” with awkward ancient rock formations. We arrive to San Martín de los Andes discovering its charming by Lacar lake.

The road of the seven lakes lead us to Villa La Angostura and Quetrihué peninsula which holds the worldly unique Arrayan forest which will be our traverse ending before we take a boat on Nahuel Huapi lake back to San Carlos de Bariloche.
