Description

We pick you up at your accommodation in Bariloche and leave the city heading south along Route 40. As we travel we have the opportunity to see Lakes Gutiérrez and Mascardi.

We then continue along a gravel road crossing a Patagonian forest, making short stops at scenic viewpoints to take in the landscapes of the area. Next we cross the bridge over the Manso River to reach the Los Rápidos and Pampa Linda area, where lunch can be purchased.

After lunch we arrive at a viewpoint from which it is possible to see the Ventisquero Negro, a glacier where the silence allows for a deeper appreciation of the surroundings and a closer connection with nature.

We then continue toward the base of Cerro Tronador — summer only, as this section is closed in winter due to snow accumulation — where we enjoy views of the Garganta del Diablo. A short walk can be taken to this site, where a waterfall can be seen. After this free time we begin the return journey to Bariloche.
