Price on request: we reply with the final price for your date.
Bariloche and San Martín de los Andes are the two main bases of the Lake District, and many travellers split their stay between them. San Martín is in Neuquén province, on the shore of Lake Lácar and beside Lanín National Park. We arrange the private transfer door to door; availability in the region is confirmed when booking.
Two ways to go
- The Seven Lakes road: through Villa La Angostura and on between forests and lakes. This is the route most people ask for: paved throughout, winding, with many viewpoints. If you want it as a sightseeing day, see the Seven Lakes Route page.
- The steppe road: along the Limay valley, arriving through Junín de los Andes. Longer, but lower and more open.
Which one suits you depends on the season, the weather and whether you want stops. We settle it with you before the trip.
Who makes this trip
- Travellers combining a few days in Bariloche with a few in San Martín.
- Skiers bound for Chapelco who could only find a flight to Bariloche.
- Passengers who land in Bariloche because Chapelco Airport has fewer flights.
What to consider
In winter there can be snow and ice on the lakes road. Conditions are checked before departure, and if that section is not advisable the transfer goes by the steppe. On a drive this long, stops are part of the plan: tell us how many you want and where.
Vehicle
On a drive of several hours, space matters. Up to 3 passengers travel in a sedan; with children, ski gear or a lot of luggage, a minivan is more comfortable.
