Day 03

Day 3: Bariloche - Full day to Tronador Hill

Tronador is the highest peak in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. This is an invitation to tour around spectacular lakes and vegetation. After being picked up at the hotel, the tour begins by taking route No. 258 where we will border the Gutiérrez and Mascardi lakes. Important: Does not include Nahuel Huapi National Park entrance fee. 

We will cross the bridge over the Manso River and we will skirt it until we reach Pampa Linda, where we will stop for lunch. Then we will take a short walk through part of the Valle de los Vuriloches. At the end of the road, through a shady forest of coihues, we arrive to the Black Glacier. The itinerary ends further ahead at the foot of the Tronador, at this place the Manso River is born and runs downhill and after several turns and merging several lakes, it empties into the Pacific Ocean. The Cerro Tronador is the most important height of Nahuel Huapi National Park, and has three peaks: International (3554m), Argentinian (3200 ) and Chilean (3320m).

The Cascada de Los Alerces (waterfall) offers some variation of this excursion. Before crossing the bridge over Río Manso you go around Lake Los Moscos and Río Manso until you reach Lake Hess where the road ends after crossing the Roca River and you have to walk about 300 m. to get to a lookout point and admire the imposing Cascada de Los Alerces. You will have to remember that the road after Lake Mascardi is a dirt road which means that there will be one way of ascending and one way of descending.

You should ask for information about the condition of this road in the city, especially during the winter season, since it is closed frequently due to weather conditions.
