A unique species Located within the Los Arrayanes National Park, it is the only one that remains in the world, since a few years ago the one that was in Japan disappeared. Today it became a protected area due to the importance of its species and the variety of native life. The scientific name of the Arrayán is Myrceugenella apiculata. These native trees, along with those on Victoria Island, are estimated to be around 300 years old. The myrtle is very tall, reaching about 18 meters and some specimens reach up to 25 meters. Its trunk reaches about 50 cm. in diameter and is extremely twisted. The bark, cinnamon colored covered with irregular white spots, is always cold although soft to the touch, it comes off in plates. The flowers are small and white, similar to orange blossom and its purple fruits with which the indigenous people made chicha and dulce. In popular medicine, an infusion is prepared with the leaves to soothe muscle aches and intestinal ailments
We will walk through leafy trails appreciating the numerous tree species such as sequoias, birches, firs, aromas, pines, etc. We can cool off (in summer, yes) in the waters of Playa del Toro

Viator describes this tour as having a maximum number of 10 persons. That is why we selected it. Turns out we were on a boat with 100 people. Textbook case of bait and switch by Viator. The people running the boat and the guides leading the tour were very good.
We have already corrected the number of passengers traveling on the catamaran in the text, as it was not a deception, but rather a misunderstanding regarding the maximum number of passengers we can sell for a day. In any case, we apologize again for the confusion and appreciate your constructive criticism; it is always helpful to receive feedback to improve our service and attention to our travelers.
This was a really enjoyable tour. Beautiful scenery and tremendous experience. Our tour guide, Malina, was extremely knowledgeable of the flora, trees and history of the island and forest. This tour company was excellent!!!
A beautiful hike thru the forest of cedars and the views of the snow covered mountains across the waters.
Thank you very much for choosing our travel Agency in Bariloche We are waiting for you whener you want 🌄Natural Travel.
Very nice excursion. We asked for the english speaking tour and our guide was great. There were only two of us on the hike on victoria Island. We had a 50 minute hike at a good pace and saw lots of the island The boat ride was comfortable. In the beginning it was a bit confusing when we got to the port. We were not sure which boat and how things were organized. A few minutes explanation while still on bus would eliminate any confusion. Definitely recommend.
🛳️It is always a good idea to sail the Nahuel Huapi. We appreciate your review and we look forward to seeing you in our city
Excellent service from the girls at the agency, especially Silvina, very cool. The beautiful ride from start to finish, 100% recommended. I went with my 4 year old daughter and she enjoyed it very much!
It was raining and I couldn't walk in the forest. The guide also doesn't provide much information. So it was just a boat ride.
Amazing views from the boat, great long walk on Victoria Island where you can take in more of nature, and friendly staff
