We were advised to go to the port at 9 am, however, boarding did not start until 10 am. As we were staying at Llao Llao our walk to the Puerto Pañuelo was brief (about 10 minutes), so we were one of the first to arrive. We paid our tickets for entry to the national park for this tour and the next day as we had another tour booked. The boat out to Blest Port was a little busy, as it also had people on the tour to Chile. However, there were plenty of seats available. The announcements were in both Spanish and English, and after about an hour on Lake Nahuel Huapi we arrived at Puerto Blest. When you arrive you immediately see the hotel on the island which is a central point for the tours; there were many walking routes; however, we had booked the optional tour of Lake Frias. We had lunch in the hotel’s restaurant and found it to be really good quality and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, we had misunderstood and began rushing to Lake Frias, believing we had to be there at 12:30. The walk was about 3km, and we arrived at 12:40, however luckily the actual instructions were to meet behind the hotel to take a bus to Lake Frias. Once everyone had arrived, we boarded a smaller boat and went to onto the lake. After a 15-minute boat ride, we were taken to a port, where there were a few buildings, including a replica of Che Guevarra’s motorcycle, the one he used to cross the Andes. After 30 minutes on at the port, we left on the 15-minute journey back. Cruising on Lake Frias was stunning, the light green waters and rock formations are stunning, so definitely one for nature lovers and those looking for stunning photographs. We made our way back to Puerto Blest, and after 30 minutes the main boat departed to the falls. You are taken to another smaller dock (after 20 minutes) and are warned that there is a 200-meter walk. The walk was all uphill, but on wooden walkways, it was somewhat gruelling; however, the waterfalls were not as impressive as I had hoped. I have been to other waterfalls in the past, and this one would be classified as a small waterfall. After the uphill walk, we made our way back to the boat and then back to Puerto Pañuelo (50 minutes). Observations – The staff on the boat are really helpful and friendly. The boat on the way out was busy, however, quietens down throughout the day. There are not too many signs, so when walking to Lagos Frias, we had no idea how much further we had to go. Overall a really enjoyable day with some great scenery.

Paseo De Los Duendes is a thematic circuit that can be found nearthe waterfall of the gnomes(cascada de los duendes).It's a park autoguided with the mythologyof the gnomes. Because it's located in the national park Nahuel Huapi it also contributes information about the nature and the preservation of it. There is also a posibility to drink your mate en have a picnic.

On my last vacation, I chose to take a big trip! So I chose to go south with my friend and do everything in our power. In Bariloche we made a visit to different places every day, we went to Playa Bonita, where we spent the afternoon looking at the lake because it was a little cold! Another day we did the city tour and toured everything that stood out in the area, the next day we went up a hill, the view was amazing !! the following was a tour of the 7 lakes and we ended up eating deer in san martin de los andes! each lake had a unique view! and finally we did trekking to finish the trip in the waterfall of the goblins !!! I would love to return as soon as possible! It was the best trip I did !!
