THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROUTE IN PATAGONIA! 🇦🇷 | Driving the SEVEN LAKES in ARGENTINA's LAKE DISTRICT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Today we're taking you on a tour of the Seven Lakes in Argentina's Lake District! Many consider it to be the most beautiful route in all of Patagonia! The Route of the Seven Lakes is a section of highway along Route 40 between the towns of San Martin de los Andes and Villa La Angostura. It crosses two national parks, Lanín and Nahuel Huapi, and along the way, you get to witness vast forests, snowcapped mountains, and of course, the seven lakes! It’s a full day excursion and aside from the lakes, we also made stops at scenic lookouts, a waterfall, and the town of Villa La Angostura where we had some free time to explore, but more on that later.
The fog started to lift about mid-morning and we were finally able to see the mountain ranges and forest all around us. As we drove along route 40, our guide shared some fun facts about the places we were visiting, and also made sure to teach us about the local flora and fauna. We also had plenty of time to snap photos at each stop.
Our next stop was at a guesthouse and camping spot, which is located on the shores of Correntoso Lake. Here we encountered a little farm with ducks, geese, cats, and dogs - I was more than happy!
They also had coffee and salty doughnuts for sale, so I got a little mid-morning snack.
Lake Espejo really lives up to its name with its mirror-like waters. This was the calmest of the lakes we visited that day, and we could see the clouds, trees and mountains all reflected in the water. It was a thing of beauty!
We then drove to the town of Villa La Angostura, where we had been a few days prior, this time making a stop in Puerto Manzano. We had some free time to walk around the port and snap some photos. This location is slightly outside of the town and not as easy to reach on foot, but it has lots of hotel, cottages and beautiful beaches, so I’m glad we got to see it.
We also had free time to visit the two bays: Bahia Mansa and Bahia Brava, and then it was finally lunchtime! We certainly could have tried a new restaurant, but if you’ve been following our videos, you know that we became slightly obsessed with the food at El Esquiador during our stay in this town. I think this was our fifth time eating there in the span of a week!
Suffice it to say, it was delicious! But you already knew that.
After lunch, we met up with the rest of the group and started the drive back to San Martin de los Andes. You guys know me, of course, I instantly fell asleep the minute I got on the bus, so here are some beautiful landscapes that Sam filmed along the way. By the time I woke up, we were arriving at our seventh lake and final stop of the day.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROUTE IN PATAGONIA! 🇦🇷 | Driving the SEVEN LAKES in ARGENTINA's LAKE DISTRICT:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.

That sounds like a great idea, Colin! That way you can take your time at each lake and even plan a little picnic. 😊

Love all your videos from South America.
Thank you very much Sam! Really appreciate hearing that - we have more to come!
@@samuelandaudrey
Great. Keep them coming 😀 I think the last ones I watched were the ones from India and I think Easter Island and I remember you mentioning you still have a lot of unedited content in one of your videos from home.
Just watching through your videos from Argentina now from Patagonia as well as the ones from N.Argentina. I bet Audrey’s dad has a lot of fans now.. I was amazed how you guys managed to clean up two of those monster size Milanesa platters which I thought you would never manage to finish haha
Amazing video! Watching you all the time guys, and you’re getting better and better.
Thank you very much! We're feeling really inspired in Argentina.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos looking forward to seeing you in the UK (whenever you’re here :) )
Hi my canadian Friends....!!!!! Conocer un lugar es más que un recuerdo visual...es la alquimia mágica de aromas...sonidos...y emociones....y por supuesto el contacto humano con lugareños que siempre nos dejan una enseñanza...solo hay que saber apreciarlo...y ustedes tienen esa sensibilidad para apreciar los lugares que recorren....y el argentino es muy amable en recibir a los extranjeros...♥️♥️🙋♂️
Muchas gracias Daniel!
Creemos que Patagonia es una de las regiones más importantes del mundo. Argentina tiene mucho que ofrecer a los visitantes extranjeros. Espero que nuestros videos puedan inspirar a más personas a visitar.
@@samuelandaudrey hoy con la tecnología disponible cambiaron los paradigmas de la publicidad...y con la calidad de sus vídeos estoy seguro que muchos se sienten atraídos...me gustaría algunos vídeos locos cada tanto para romper lo habitual...música de fondo con rock de los 70...Jajaja..interactuando más con lugareños..en fin..la sorpresa...!!! Saludos desde Rosario..con 35 grados ♥️♥️🙋♂️
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!! It totally looks like Alberta/BC boarder area here in Canada.😍
That's what we kept saying! All the way down in Patagonia and we felt at home because it reminded us of Canada. 😊
Beautiful video!!
Thank you very much Alejandro!

Los felicito profundamente y tienen todo mi aprecio !!
Muchas gracias Pablo!

Is it all Argentina??? I have never seen such nature there! That's gorgeous! Hope you really loved it☺️. By the way, how long did you travel across that country?? 🤔
Yes, this is all Argentina! 🇦🇷 It's a country with such diverse landscapes. We spent 3 months travelling there. 😊 What part did you go to?
@@samuelandaudrey oh, really? 3 months? I guess it's enough time for discovering it🙄🤔 As for me, I have never been there in my life... Unfortunately... Maybe my comment sounds like I was, but I didn't...😒
Nice Video Samuel and Audrey Ma'am
Thank you very much Pranav!
Saludos desde argentina La Rioja
Gracias Fede!
Tortas fritas in the mountain cold...🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Hehe, best way to fight the cold.
This is So extremely beautiful and well recorded. What camera and lens do you use? is that a 4K? Just beautiful. I wish I could have an alfajor and a barbeque. Enjoy!
Thank you very much! Actually it is just HD from our Panasonic Gh5.
@@samuelandaudrey God Bless You Guys!
I think Sam’s freckles are from all the dulce de leche he has consumed in his life!
Jajaja...this is a fact
Where were you based when you had d tour of 7 lakes?
Thanks Gerry! San Martin De Los Andes.
we can travel with you as we are confined
Hoping the virus ends soon.
11:54 - 11:59 OMG, what is that in your glass, Sam?? It looks like a worm that rises to the top of your orange juice?
Great eye Melissa! I believe it was just a label on the outside but it does look like that from the distance...lol
6:37 she said "no" in Spanish
😅😅😅
@@samuelandaudrey Audrey your spanish pronunciation is remarkable !
Hello.,Planning to visit Pantagoniawhich tour company
Audrey doesn’t seem to be very interested in Samuel or what he has to say.
Guys - you should not be complaining about the cold as you are from Toronto therefore you are basically penguins. :-)
LOL, I seem to mind the cold a lot more than Sam does. We always joke he's half polar bear. ❄️😅❄️
@@samuelandaudrey Bahaha - love it !! take care guys and safe travels.
Hey , where is Dad?
Ah, that is before he rejoined us!
