BIKING EXPEDITION
Volcanos, hot springs and lakes in The Andes.
Zekeseven MB Adventure Expedition into the Andes Mountain Range area to discover striking lakes, millennial forests, active volcanoes, and staying at the best lodges immersed in the natural scenery. An exceptional adventure program.
In Argentina you will visit dream-like villages San Martín de Los Andes and Villa Pehuenia; in Chile two Thermal Water centers were chosen for you plus a beautiful resort in the countryside.
The Lanín National Park and the Conguillio National Park are the high points of the expedition, as well as icon volcanos Villarrica, Llaima, Lonquimay and Lanín, which are most powerful reasons for not missing this outstanding program.
Crossing over The Andes through two less regular passes add adventure to the trip.
