“I found Surtrek online as it proved to be an excellent, efficient company. Our 4 days in the Galapagos were expertly planned and we were never left without a guide - we were even walked to dinner each night and assisted with ordering!”
PM: Staff of the Llao Llao Hotel will welcome you at the Bariloche airport, and then take you on a scenic drive for a little over an hour to the hotel itself. After you’ve had an opportunity to check in and unpack, you will have a chance recuperate from your trip through any of the spa’s dozen treatments, which include aromatherapy, body treatments and Thai massages. Completely relaxed, you will later be served a gourmet grilled-meat or fish dinner at the Los Cesares Grill & Pasta before heading to the leather upholstery and antler chandeliers of the hotel’s Lobby-Bar or retiring to your room for the night.
