Able to walk 3–6 hours on mixed terrain with short climbs; not technical but requires basic stamina
A private five-day Bariloche itinerary that blends moderate guided hikes in Nahuel Huapi National Park with a secluded boat passage along Brazo Tristeza and riverside lunches. Ideal for travelers who want luxury lodging and personalized access to lakeside waterfalls and viewpoints.
Morning light slices across Lake Nahuel Huapi and your private driver eases up the road while Bariloche wakes—chimneys breathe, alpine-style facades catch the sun, and the Andes loom like a promise. Over the next five days this luxury private trip pares away crowds in favor of curated movement: short, crisp hikes through coihue and alerce forest, a secluded boat passage down the Brazo Tristeza, and rivers that insist you pause and look.

Pack a light insulating layer and a waterproof shell—conditions can change from sun to wind-driven rain within an hour.
Wear waterproof hiking shoes with good tread for riverbank and root-strewn forest trails encountered on the Manso River walk.
Bring a reusable water bottle and sip regularly—days include several hours of walking between meal stops.
Your private driver picks you up from the airport; confirm flight details and pickup point at least 24 hours before arrival.
