Unethical trade...
We decided... to go after dinner elsewhere, we went to have a craft beer to Cerveceria Nordoeste... we were surprised that they brought it to us without any dish of peanuts or pochoclo, we requested the waiter, we answered that they did not have... that I was going to ask if they could make pochoclos... haha gave me laughter, but they never arrived, we paid the pint $5,000 a theft... the day before we went to a central brewery... that the truth left us surprised... by the attention... how they attend and take care of every detail... very reasonable prices... it is unfortunate the unethical of this brewery...sure we do not return even by chance

Beautiful places in our Patagonia
The most beautiful landscapes are in the south. One cuter than another. The views... we took a lot of pictures. Also the vegetation and fruits of the place

THEY CHARGE YOU IN DOLLARS, BEWARE!
Everything was perfect, transfers, the guide exceptional, but the unpleasant surprise was when the card summary arrived and seeing that everything had been charged in dollars, something that is not specified anywhere when making the purchase.

Glacier
It is Lago Puelo, not Pueblo. Border with Chile and from there to Puerto Mont Puerto Varas, the color of the water and vegetation changes when you cross the border

Tour to El Baggins or Lake Puelp
Hey, hi. I want to know what can be done in El Baggins or Lake Puelo. I would go on my own to spend the day from Bariloche. Any recommendations, I'd appreciate. Cheers.

From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bariloche.
How much does From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bariloche usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bariloche is not rushed.
Is From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Bariloche, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bariloche can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bariloche and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Bariloche: Discover El Bolsón and Lago Puelo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bariloche within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bariloche?
+
On Outty we rank every Bariloche experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Trekking day in the mountains close to Bariloche, Fly Fishing Bariloche, Fly Fishing Trips in Bariloche. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bariloche?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bariloche?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
