Tronador Volcano Day Trip

Discover the natural beauty of Patagonia with this trip to Tronador (Thundering) Volcano, named for the sound made by ice breaks in the glaciers.

Description

The tour departs from Bariloche, traveling south alongside the Gutierrez and Mascardi lakes, showcasing the landscape of La Pampa with its lakes, rivers, and Andes peaks.

We proceed along the eastern coast of Mascardi Lake to a diversion leading into the Andes. A bridge over the Manso River guides us along the rapids and the eastern shores of Mascardi Lake. A visit to the Piuke island viewpoint offers views of its heart-shaped form.
