Embark on an unforgettable adventure to Nahuel Huapi National Park, where the majestic Cerro Tronador stands as the guardian of eternal snows and glaciers. The thunderous echoes of its ice falls reveal the mystery behind its name. The journey begins in Bariloche along National Route 40 South, crossing breathtaking landscapes. We pass Huenuleo Pampa, Gutiérrez Lake, and Pilmayen and Melgarejo streams. At the 'watershed,' Mascardi Lake leads us to a charming gravel road, unveiling scenic views like Isla Corazón. We continue past Cerro Los Emparedados and the winding Manso Superior River to Pampa Linda, a perfect spot to admire Tronador. Through Vuriloches Valley and a lush forest, we reach Ventisquero Negro, a natural wonder. The excursion ends at the base of Cerro Tronador, standing at 3,454 meters, with its three peaks: International, Argentine, and Chilean.

I did the Full Day Cerro Tronador: Eternal Snow and Hanging Glaciers with Gray Line Argentina. I booked it through Viator. It was the best tour I did in Bariloche. We also had perfect weather for it. A not too cold day in winter with blue skies. Crispy, cosy and so lovely. The scenery was just breathtaking. There is a lot of driving but it wasn't too bad and we had stops along the way. Stunning. I was picked up around 09:00 and back at the hotel by 18:30. The tour was exactly as advertised so you knew what was included and what was not. Make sure to have ARS cash. Entrance fee to Nahuel Huapi National Park cost ARS 20,000 if you are not a resident of Argentina (August 2025). Bring ID too. For lunch, suggest bringing snacks or a sandwich. The place we stopped at had more hearty meals. They had snacks too. Coffee was good. Very relaxing tour and easy walk at the base of Cerro Tronador. Guide was very good. I was the only English speaker but he was bilingual and made sure I was looked after. I learnt a lot. The tour was not rushed with adequate time at each stop. You won't have reception for quite a bit of the journey but who cares! Enjoy the scenery. Gray Line Argentina were easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and everything was confirmed to me in advance. Highly recommend.

It was a good, well-organized tour. I did feel there were too many long stops. We had a 2-hour lunch break at a place that did not accept credit cards, which I was not made aware of beforehand. And we also stayed an hour at a small green lake. Lovely, but 15 minutes would have been fine, especially given the cold and rain. And bathroom stops of 30 minutes each.

Excellent experience with an excellent tour guide. The narrative was in Spanish and English. Plenty of time given at all tourist stop, bathroom breaks and meal stops too. Weather could be better, it rain part of tour but not bad. Bus driver was very professional.

This is an excellent tour & thoroughly recommended. The guide speaks in Spanish & English. You see some beautiful things. It would have been better to spend more time actually at the glacier. We had 35mins there which wasn’t long enough. Then 40 minutes at a waterfall which could have been 30 with an extra 10 minutes at the glacier. Be aware the 20000 entrance fee of the park is not included or lunch. An excellent day out.

Charly was fantastic, he had good sense of humor while being very insightful and detailed on his descriptions. I really enjoyed this tour.

This was a great day trip out of Bariloche. The pickup was easy at my hotel. The van was comfortable which was great on a long bumpy gravel road to the mountain. The guide was very informative with 20 years of experience as a guide. The food at the lunch stop was very good. I enjoyed the milanasa. The views of Cerro Tronador were amazing and the black glacier was area was fascinating. Returning back to town the tour made quick pace to drop everybody off around 6:15 PM. The audio in the van away a little inconsistent. Volume dropped off over time. Otherwise a great trip.

This tour was incredible. The scenery speaks for itself, but even more I recommend this tour because the tour guide Martin was awesome. He gave loads of background information about the area, spoke fluent Spanish and English and translate every detail even though I was the only English speaking person. I highly recommend this tour

The guide was very accomodating. I would highly recommend, as I was the only English speaker on the trip. The views were incredible.
