Aboard the Gran Victoria catamaran, you’ll sail across Lake Nahuel Huapi, surrounded by lush green forests, birds gliding overhead, and the calm reflection of the water. Upon arrival at Puerto Blest, the morning is yours to enjoy a self-guided trek to Los Cántaros Waterfall—a place where nature reveals its full splendor.
