FromOsorno via Bariloche and Esquel ( a 3 day trip to the Queulat Lodge)
we suggest going from Osorno to Bariloche, whichis 245 kms, on a route that crosses through two lovely national parks; Puyehue Park in Chile and Nahuel Park in Argentina.Leave the afternoon free to enjoy Bariloche.The trip takes about 5 hours.
The second day we suggest going from Bariloche to Esquel, following the highway RN 258 to Bolson and from there taking the highway towards the Alerces Park and going on to Esquel.This is 324 kms allowing for stops and litle walks in the Park ( we can suggest a route to follow)The trip takes 6 or 7 hours includingsmall hikes in the AlercesNational Park and visiting the museum there.
An alternative route is to use the faster tarred highways, travelling on the RN 258 and then the Ruta 40 which is 310 kms from Bariloche and roughly a 4 or 5 hour trip depending on the amount of stops made.
The third day you can enter Chile through Futeluefu, 71 kms from Esquel and carry on another 224 kms along the valley of the River Futeluefu on the Southern highway until you get to the Queulat Lodge in the heart of Queulat Park.

There is a small aerodrome for light aircraft 24 kms north of the lodge and it is possible to charter small planes in Puerta Montt or Coyhaique to get to the Lodge.The flight is approximately 2 hours from Coyhaique and 1,5 hours from Puerta Montt
