Andean Lakes Crossing from Puerto Varas to Bariloche

Welcome to Cruce Andino, an invitation to explore the mythical Andean Lake District, along the most beautiful natural route connecting Chile and Argentina. This route, over 400 years ago, was used by the Huilliche Indians as a trade route, and later by the Jesuit priests to establish religious missions in the Nahuel Huapi region. Today, four centuries later, we invite you to a magical place. Fall in love with nature in its purest form, discover the secrets of Patagonia, and marvel at our volcanoes, lakes, ancient forests, and the warmth of our people on an unforgettable journey.
Notes:
Check-in must be completed with each passenger's passport documentation directly at the tour operator's office located at Del Salvador 72, Puerto Varas; AT LEAST one (1) day before the trip, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. It is very important to complete this process as without it you will not be able to travel.
