Renting a kayak or paddleboard in Bariloche is one of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty of Patagonia from the water. As well as that, you can rent a bike to ride along beautiful trails.
Kayak or Paddle Board (1 Hour)
Do you like water sports? If you're in Bariloche, don't hesitate to rent a kayak or a paddle board. You'll have the opportunity to paddle through the calm waters of Bahía López, surrounded by the overwhelming snow-capped peaks that guard Nahuel Huapi Lake.
From the water, you'll enjoy a unique view of the city and the surrounding Patagonian vegetation. On a sunny day, you'll be able to see the reflection of the blue sky and the mountains on the water, creating a sense of calm and connection with nature.
For the hour-long rental, you'll be able to discover corners of Lake Moreno, with its small stone beaches and forests stretching to the shore.
You can paddle calmly a few metres away from spectacular forests of coihues and lengas, while the steep walls of the hills stretch out like a natural amphitheatre. In the distance, you'll see the Goye or Bella Vista mountains—Don't forget to take pictures!
