Cruce Andino
RÍO NEGRO
Of all the routes that cross the Andes between Patagonian Argentina and
Chile, the Cruce Andino is the most spectacular. The crossing, by land and boat,
begins in Bariloche and finishes in Puerto
Varas in Chile, traversing two national
parks along the way. Passengers travel
through forests thick with
alerce
,
lenga
,
and cypress trees, and cross four
separate lakes, including the emerald-
green Lago Todos los Santos in Chile.
Four volcanoes, including Chile's Volcán
Osorno and the mighty 11,400-ft
(3,478-m) Cerro Tronador in Argentina,
can be seen at close range. Both one-
and two-day tickets are available for the
crossings; the latter allows time to soak
up the scenery.
