Great trip to a beautiful part of Argentina
Excellent trip. Comfortable coach. Although a Spanish trip which I chose and don’t speak the language the guide was helpful and understanding.

Gorgeous views
Long trip but very worth it. Scenery is gorgeous. Fortunate also to have a beautiful day. Tour guide and driver were excellent. Although a tour booked for Spanish, Barbie would give the English and Spanish version which was nice. Highly recommend.

Not worth $314, was more expensive for english speakers
So this was a big bus that picked up people like a greyhound. Most of the stuff announced by the tourguide on the bus is in spanish, very little in English. Few quick photo stops. The views are beautiful. Then 2 hour solo time at San Martin. Then drives you back. I felt it was worth $90 max not $314 USD. That's the ridiculous. They charge spanish speakers a lot less!

Great experience !!
Deborah was wonderful. Eventhough it was a Spanish tour, she took the time to explain everything in English to me. I appreciate it very much. The driver was great. Thank you.

From Bariloche: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bariloche.
How much does From Bariloche: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route cost?
+
Prices start at $82 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: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 134 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bariloche, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Bariloche: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Bariloche: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Bariloche: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route?
+
Around 47 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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Bariloche: San Martín de los Andes by The 7 Lakes Route 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.
