This tour covers one of the most beautiful parks in Patagonia: Nahuel Huapi National Park, and the highest mountain in the area: El Tronador, 3,478 meters high, located on the border between Argentina and Chile. On the way to the summit you will see forests, lakes, beaches, mountains and waterfalls.

In addition to the amazing landscape,  this trip takes you to the huge Ventisquero Negro Glacier, formed by a pristine white blanket of ice on top of the Tronador

There  the Manso River originates, a typical mountain stream that descends from the Tronador zigzagging toward the Pacific, overcoming differences in height through the formation of rapids and cascading waterfalls, as the one known as Los Alerces, binding in its wake a variety of beautiful lakes. 

You can make the ride just to see Tronador or combine it with a visit to the waterfall.
