Bariloche
is well known as the best spot for adventure travel in Argentina. It is in
these last years that many multi adventure trips have started to appear. They
are all special, unique and each has its special charm but my favorite one day
out is the Isla Victoria MTB + Kayak Adventure.
On that
one day it was just five of us. Very early in the morning we got on our private
boat at Tunquelen Port, at this time of the day there is a pristine golden
light on the mountains while we cruise the clear waters of the lake.
We
arrive to the island and find the bikes ready for us, after some stretchs and
warm ups, we take off supplied with drinks and energy bars. We ride along a
cool whispering forest of Coihue trees filled with birds, and we even got to
see some deer running away from our passing. We ended our journey through the
woods just in time to arrive for lunch at the amazing “Piedras Blancas” beach.
When we
get there we find the table ready for us! Different types of home made bread,
smoked treats, cheeses and fruit and, why not, a glass of patagonian wine.
After lunch we stretch out and relax and take a swim in the pristine waters of
the bay.
In the
afternoon we leave behind our bikes and after practicing the safety procedures
we paddle out from the bay in our kayaks. We pass along beaches and cliffs that
can only be accessed from the lake. There is one huge rock and we stop to dive
from it into the lake, we have a lot of fun taking pics and videos of the whole
thing!
We head
back to meet our boat. As we navigate back to the other side of the lake and
Port Tunquelen we enjoy a nice tea time snack and a glass of champagne to
celebrate the end of our adventure. -
