Known as the ecological adventure offer in Bariloche, the Canopy surges thanks to the need of studying rain forest vegetation areas without affecting their natural environment evolution.
This is the reason why this tour gives you the chance to explore Bariloche's surrounding forests in a different way from other tours, allowing you to feel the magical sensation of flying like a bird inbetween trees and through the forest.
Thanks to the use of harnesses and pulleys that permit you to slide from one platform to the other, from tree to tree, you will contemplate some stunning landscapes unable to see from the ground!
The entire circuit has a total lenght of about 1500 mts long, divided between 10 platforms that are strategically located in the top of the tallest trees.
In order to get to the firts platform, after having an explanation about security and descending instructions, you will be transported up the Mt. lopez (4 kms trail) by a Land Rover Defender, and after a brief hike, you will arrive to the starting point of the adventure!
This activity does not require any previous experience at all. The constant full time supervision given by the instructors added with the special equipment used, make the Canopy an 100% safe and fun excursion.
Also, the tour is not cancelled by rain nor snow, it's available all year long and ideal for all ages!

Roca Negra is the name of this marvellous Refuge located at Mt Lopez, near Colonia Suiza and the Short Circuit route.
The
adventure starts as soon as you get picked up from your Hotel. You will travel west through Bustillo Av. (the same you take to do
Short Circuit Tour or go to the Llao Llao Hotel). Skirting
the always present Lake Nahuel Huapi, you will travel almost half way of
the road to Colonia Suiza, getting to the base of Mt. Lopez. Here, you
descent from the van or minibus and gather in small groups to get on the
4WD trucks (Land Rover Defenders).
This is where the real fun
starts! Get ready to ride some of the most adventurous road in
Bariloche. After some bumps and lots of turns, you will start noticing a
change in the forest, which begins as a Coihue forest at the base and
turns into a Lenga forest as you start rising height (to 1.300 mts above
the sea level).
You will be welcomed with a hot
drink at the refuge and will get equiped and instructed by the guied to
start the snowshoing right away. The trail has the perfect view of the
lake Nahuel Huapi, the city of Bariloche in the distance and even the
Llao Llao Hotel and Victoria Island are visible from here. You will be
surprised as you walk for more than 1 hour in the snow, enjoying one of the
most amazing views in my opinion!
On the way back, smoke will be
coming out of the chimney as the fire heat will be waiting for you to
warm up at the refuge. Sitting down at the tables next to wide windows
will allow you to go on delighting with the magnificent view while you
enjoy a fantastic Cheese Fondue with an exuberant argentine wine.
