Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi

Reviewed By pshurd

This area is amazing. Well worth a trip to visit for several days. We were on a group trip & spent 4 nights. We could have easily stayed a full week & not seen it all. Incredible scenery. Hiking is great.

Glaciar del Hielo Azul

Reviewed By rebeccaE86

I hiked to the Refugio from Dona Rosa, it took me 7h15. To gauge my fitness I run 5km in 32 minutes. If you are less fit than me it will take you much longer - be aware of the sunset.There were people arriving in the dark. That is dangerous! In March 2019 the Refugio cost 500peso. I bought a pizza for 500 and a beer for 130. (Inflation is 30% here next year the prices will be much more). The following morning I hiked to the glacier. The return trip to the Refugio was 3h15. It then took 5h30 to return to Dona Rosa. I had booked a taxi for 6pm. It was quite a challenge to make it on time! You can get a map and register your hike with the mountain service in El Bolson beside the pond in the centre of town. You must hike with 1.5L of water, a torch, a sleeping bag, sturdy shoes and lots of snacks. A two or 3 Refugio hike would be easier than the hike I did - after the glacier you can hike to Natacion Refugio which takes much less time than climbing down the mountain.

Cerro Tronador

Reviewed By globaltrotter_carol - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

I did a two day hike. Started the hike in pampa Linda. The rood to the starting point is only open in the morning, to go to pampa Linda in the afternoon you can only leave this rood. Narrow rood. In the bezinning the hike is easy. After a few km you started climing. It is 15 km to refugio Roca were you can stay for the night. Naar the refugio you can walk to the waterfalls. They are nice. Large refugio. They serve dinner and you can buy a Packed lunch. If you continue thuis hike you will decent rapidly. You will hear the whole time ICE Breaking from the glacier. Really cool. I think you will see 3/4 glaciers, i think it has in Total 8 glaciers but you cannot see them all. After 3/4 km you walk in the woods. Kind of hard lost of trees on the Path. Not an easy hike. I think most of the people need 5 a 6 hours for the 12 km. Really muddy. The last 2 km are easy. Around 4 you have to take a boot then a bus for 3=km and then an other boot and you will arrive hear llao llao. This part is really good organized. When you have bought your boot ticket , boot can be late the rest is smootly. They take care of your backpack in the harbor of llao llao you get it back. Take a warm jacket with you can be a bit cold on board.

Funny for children, interesting for adults. In the middle of Circuito Chico, you can have a dinosaur's experience, many of them are from argentina. You can see them in their real high in the Patagonian forest with an excellent guide. Highly recommended!
