May it be conincidence, but may be not!
As I almost get to the moment to write about the Seven Lakes road, Jean put The Motorcycle Diaries in front of me and said, a good book to read. It is indeed a good book to read.
Surprisingly, without knowing it, I made the same route just like Ernesto CHE Guevara. The Seven Lakes road was undertaken in the book during the February of 1952. If you keen to visit Argentina and Chile, you will come to know that "The Lake Region" in these two countries is one of the most scenic region in the countries. The road, over Argentina side, simply pass by seven lakes and going through towns from San Martin de los Andes, Villa la Angostura to San Carlos de Bariloche.
You may continue this journey further to Chile though a combination of cruises and rides with multiple lake crossing. Along this journey, you will see the Isla Victoria, Bosque de Arrayanes, Peulla waterfall and Osorno volcano from the east where you will reach either Puerto Montt or Puerto Varas. From here, you actually can take a bus by land road back to San Martin or Bariloche through the towns of Frutillar, Osorno and the Puyehue National Park, making a full circuit of loop.
That is what exactly I done. I went to San Martin and hiked up the mountain, the small is just as described come into full view.
