<h1>whitewater rafting in Bariloche - Manso river - adventure tour for families
with children - argentina</h1>
From Bariloche on route 258 by car to km 60. Detour 10 km until we get to Steffen
lake, beginning of Manso inferior river. Rafting 60 min., stop for lunch and then
we raft again for about 60 min. over class II/III rapids. Snack service and return
to Bariloche.Antoine or Billy pick you up at your hotel or lodging that you are
staying in. After picking up the rest of the group, we stop to load the whole
equipment, rafts and food. Then we drive and between chatting and mate tea to
break the ice, the guide will tell us about what we see from the van while we
drive along. We start our trip on <b> route 258</b>, we pass along the lakes:<b>
Gutiérrez, Mascardi and Guillelmo.</b> When we reach <b>km. 60 we detour to the
Manso river.</b> We had still a downhill drive for about 10km (6 miles) on non
paved road. Along our way we will enjoy one of the best sightseeing spots of our
National Park where we will stop to take pictures (bring along your camera). From
that point you see Huala- Hue lagoon, Steffen lake and Martin lake. At 500 meters
above sea level in the <b> Steffen lake begins the Manso</b> <b>Inferior</b> river,
our starting point for whitewater rafting. When we arrive we get ready with the
equipment. Meanwhile you get yourself ready too: you put on your sunscreen protection,
sandals or sport shoes (you are not allowed to go barefooted) Then the guide will
introduce you to the basics of paddling so you cool down your anxiety before setting
off. The first leg is about a 60 min white water rafting. Then we slow
down for a while. There you will have the opportunity to enjoy fully the beauties
of nature that surrounds us, just imagine...the river, the forest, birds, the
raft and you, no other way to get there...... Then we stop by the river to have
lunch. You will be served a starting snack with the best smoked meat (trout, wild
pork and deer) from<font color="#800080"><b><font color="#000066"> Patagonia 'ahumados
