Heading south, the next stop is Pucón, renowned for its sprawling natural beauty and cultural highlights. Guests can stay on a 40-hectare farm, taste respected wines, sample fresh, organic produce from the farm, burn off some energy with a wide assortment of guided outdoor adventure activities and experience the art, cuisine and culture of the Mapuche, Chile’s main ethnic group. The journey continues south to the Lakes Region of Argentina, with excursions to San Martin de los Andes and the legendary town of Bariloche, which is dominated by towering peaks and crystal clear lakes.
