Lake Crossing

The story starts in the year 1913, when a group of tourists, lead by Ricardo Roth, crossed the Andes, through a border crossing, joining Peulla in Chile with Bariloche in Argentina. As a good way of connecting these two neighbouring countries, and crossing South America, CRUCE ANDINO®, is born as an ecological adventure you cannot miss.

The journey starts in Puerto Pañuelo, sailing the Nahuel Huapi Lake, among the mountains towards the heart of the Andes and arriving at Puerto Blest.

A 3-kilometer bus ride, bordering the Frias River, takes you to Puerto Alegre. There you set sail for 20 minutes in the green waters of Frias Lake and arriving at Puerto Frias, as you admire the stunning views of the Tronador Mountain and the condors in their magnificent flight.

Upon arriving to Puerto Frias, you go through customs. Next, you take a bus which goes through the beautiful Valdivian Rain Forest and arriving in Peulla, in Chile, and completing the customs paperwork to then have lunch.

After lunch, you sail the Todos los Santos Lake to Petrohue. When you arrive in Petohue you take a final bus to visit the Petrohue waterfalls and finally, bordering the Llanquihue Lake, you arrive in the city of Puerto Varas, the service of ‘Cruce de los Lagos’ finalizes in the city of Puerto Montt.
