This is one of the best and most complete programs organized in the area. We combine different activities such as rafting, horse riding and hiking, to travel this pass between Argentina and Chile . We will have the opportunity to appreciate the settler’s lifestyle, whose traditions have stayed intact since their first days as pioneers in the area. As an optional, you can return to Bariloche by the “Cruce Andino Circuit“.

Departure from Bariloche, transfer to “Puerto Viejo”, our private harbor in the Manso River where we start the rafting excursion.

The last part, with class III and IV rapids, is one of the best known white water rafting trips in Argentina. We arrive to our Lodge in Paso Leon, Chile, where we will stay for the night.
