Isla Victoria
The most popular excursion on Lago Nahuel Huapi is the 30-minute boat ride from Puerto Pañuelo on the Llao Llao Peninsula to Isla Victoria, the lake's largest island. Here, amidst a grove of redwoods transplanted from California, trails branch off to enchanting views of emerald bays and still lagoons. When you've taken it all in, you can reboard your vessel and continue on to the Parque Nacional los Arrayanes to the north. Launches depart daily at 10:30 am and 2 pm (more frequently in high season). The earlier departure includes time for lunch in a cafeteria on the island. Cau Cau is one of several firms offering this tour.
