Via ferrata of Bariloche (Patagonia)

Description

Argentina's first via ferrata, the via ferrata "de la Virgen" in Bariloche runs along the banks of the Arroyo de la Virgen canyon while overlooking Lake Moreno.

The route flirts with the Virgen and Basque waterfalls and crosses the canyon using three zip lines. The via allows, after more than 100m of ascent, to reach a small summit which offers an incredible view of the lakes and forests of the region.

Program

• You'll be picked up at your hotel at 9am.
• After 35min drive, we reach the estancia where the activity takes place, on the edge of Lake  Moreno.
• Technical briefing on the use of the equipment and safety instructions, then we start the ascent.
• Crossing footbridges, zip lines, horizontal or vertical parts, we end up reaching the top of the via ferrata where you enjoy tea, coffee, mate and a four quarter portion while contemplating the landscape.
• A very aerial zip line over a 30m waterfall allows you to finish the route with an extraordinary photo.
