Itinerary

Stop 1

3 hours

The excursion begins towards the south of the national park, bordering the Gutierrez and Mascardi lakes. Here we turn towards the Manso River, one of the largest rivers in the region, to border the Tronador branch of Lake Mascardi, where we stop at the Mirador de la Isla Corazón and continue to Pampa Linda, a beautiful valley surrounded by high peaks.
Ventisquero Negro

one hour Admission not included

Our first stop is in Ventisquero Negro, one of the most curious and surprising natural wonders of the Argentine Patagonia. This glacier has a dark tone, almost black. Its color is due to the accumulation of volcanic ash. Here you can admire its unique beauty and feel the power of nature.
Cerro Tronador

4 hours Admission not included

Continuing with the tour to the imposing Cerro Tronador, the highest peak in the region with 3,478 meters above sea level. Its name is not accidental: it comes from the sound similar to thunder that the blocks of ice emit when they detach from their glaciers. Cerro Tronador is a natural border between Argentina and Chile, and a historical reference for the native peoples and the first explorers of Patagonia.
