2013 - APT South America

Patagonian Lakes Cross the pristine Patagonian Lakes before staying three nights at the exclusive Llao Llao Hotel & Resort. Played out against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks, azure lakes, mystical forests and cascading waterfalls, take in the sights of Patagonia from several different perspectives. The Geographical Wonder of the Patagonian Andes As the world's longest continental mountain range, the Andes run down the west coast of South America, effectively splitting the continent. In the south, the famous range tapers off into the wild and pristine region of Patagonia, where it forms a natural and incredibly beautiful border between Argentina and Chile. Cruising Across the Andes On APT's Patagonia Lakes itineraries you'll cruise over a network of lakes across the Andes. As part of your first venture into the spectacular mountain range, you'll glide from Petrohué to Peulla over the emerald waters of Lake Todos los Santos, enjoying views to snow-capped volcanic peaks on the horizon. After crossing the Andes a second cruise takes you over the glacial waters of Lake Frias. The next day, the last and most picturesque crossing will see you weaving among the charming islets of Nahuel Huapi. The journey ends as you dock right in front of the exclusive Llao Llao Hotel & Resort. Indulgence Awaits at Llao Llao Hotel & Resort A genuinely prestigious property, Llao Llao Hotel & Resort is one of The Leading Hotels Of The World. It's nestled directly between two lakes in the pristine expanse that is Nahuel Huapi National Park. During a three-night stay within this nature lover's paradise, you're afforded an incredible level of recreational choice. It really is a sublime conclusion to such a leisurely journey of pure indulgence. The Argentine Lake District – A Feast for the Senses Sprawling 400 kilometres along the Andes, the Lake District is a wondrous land of glacier-fed lakes, huge forests and mountainous peaks. At its heart, the resort town of Bariloche is the perfect base from which to explore, and an ideal way of doing just that is on the famous Seven Lakes Drive. Renowned as the country's finest, you'll skirt lakes, traverse forests and drop in on several charming alpine-style villages that are dotted about the region.
