Nahuel Huapi National Park and Black Glacier Tour

Where to start in this park that brims with life, nature, flora and fauna? From forests to lakes to beaches to mountains – there are even some waterfalls! What is going to tickle your fancy first? Be spoilt for choice in this breathtaking, serene slice of paradise. The park itself, located at the foothills of the Patagonian Andes, is the largest in the region, covering nearly 200 million acres!

Firsthand witness the hair-raising Tronador, rising over 11,000 ft above sea level and creating a wonderful, natural boundary between Argentina and Chile. The views from this altitude are incomparable and we definitely recommend you have a camera to hand to capture this moment.

After, we head south to the 258 National Highway, crossing through Pampa de Huenuleu and arriving at the alluring lake Gutiérrez for time to admire the beauty of nature and contemplate the relaxing atmosphere and bask in its glory. The continuing our travels, we make our way to the black glacier or also known as the Ventisquero Negro, travelling through the picturesque valleys and forests along the way. The glacier, true to its name, appears to be a stricking black colour and is really quite a sight.

Before heading home, we will observe the views of the neighboring country Chile from the top of the mountain. What a day!
