From this port, you will set off for a 30 minutes navigation through lake Nahuel Huapi, arriving to Anchorena Port as the first stop, located at the center of Victoria Island on its most narrow part.

There are many different options in what reffers to hiking trails at the island. You may wether choose between taking a guided walk or exploring around by yourselfs through delimited walking areas.
The main attractions at the Island are: the ex National Forest Nursery, permitting you to see more than 150 non native tree species from all over the world, old houses that where once inhabitated by some of the first pioneers in the island, intresting rock paintings and the viewing point al Bella Vista hill.
