PATAGONIA BY BOAT 🛥️ | Cruising on Glacial Lake Lacar in San Martín de los Andes, Argentina 🇦🇷
324Today we're exploring Patagonia by boat - namely Lake Lacar which is a lake of glacial origins! Lake Lacar is a popular boat excursion from the town of San Martin de los Andes, which sits on Lake Lacar's northeastern shores. This lake is tucked into the Andes mountain ranges and it stretches 25 kilometres in length.
On this boat tour, we cruised Lake Lacar making stops at Quila Quina Beach, where we grabbed lunch and strolled along the beach; we hiked to the Chachin Waterfall, which can be reached by a dirt trail through the Valdivian forest; we visited Hua Hum, where we enjoyed some cakes and pastries; and lastly, we visited a small chapel on the island of Santa Teresita.
This boat trip of Lake Lacar was a really nice way to experience a slice of Patagonia by boat. This right here is Patagonia's Lake District, so as you can imagine, there are countless lakes to explore.
When it comes to things to do in Patagonia definitely consider a Glacial Lake Lacar tour departing from San Martín de los Andes. If you have other travel suggestions for things to do in Argentina and/or Patagonia please let us know in the comment section below?

PATAGONIA BY BOAT 🛥️ | Cruising on Glacial Lake Lacar in Argentina from San Martín de los Andes 🇦🇷:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. We then flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba where we spent a couple of weeks in the Sierras of Cordoba visiting both La Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano with highlights including hiking and delicious German and Swiss cuisine.
From Cordoba, we then travelled a considerable distance on an overnight bus to Mar Del Plata just in time for a special food festival called Feria Masticar featuring the best of Argentine food and wine. We spent several days enjoying beaches and seafood before heading south to Patagonia to visit the province of Chubut.
While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.
