Victoria Island and Arrayanes Forest

Period: All year.

After a sailing trip, you arrive at the Quetrihue Peninsula, home to the Arrayanes Forest, located northeast of Lake Nahuel Huapi.
The myrtle (Quetrihue in the Mapuche language) is a saffron-colored shrub with white flowers. In this unique place, it takes on the shape of a tree, forming a magical and unusual forest. Then, sail to Puerto Anchorena, Victoria Island. Letting yourself go back in time, walking the trails that lead to Playa del Toro, to discover the cave paintings made by the indigenous people who inhabit this area, set against a splendid volcanic sand beach, is an unforgettable and magical experience.
The company of Our National Park Guides collaborates with the precise and necessary information, so that this walk is unique.
Day 5
Tronador Hill and Los Alceres Waterfall
Duration: Full day
Period: All year.
Departures: 08am to 18:XNUMXpm
Difficulty: Easy
Leaving Bariloche, we head south on Route 40. After passing Lake Gutierrez and Lake Mascardi, we turn right onto the road to Tronador. This road leads to the Manso Medio River, where it forks. There, instead of crossing the bridge over the river, we continue along the road, passing by Lakes Los Moscos and Hess. We then cross the bridge over the Roca River and arrive at a parking lot. From here, the tour continues on foot, and after a short walk, we reach the Los Alerces Waterfall Viewpoint. This waterfall is a beautiful 20-meter-high waterfall that the Manso River makes shortly after leaving Lake Hess. This river, with its cold, crystal-clear waters, has the unique characteristic of emptying into the Pacific Ocean in Chile. The waterfall can be seen from a large viewpoint, surrounded by a dense forest of tall coihue trees and damp walls filled with ferns and moss. In this area, the forest is notable for its several larch trees, hence the waterfall's name. We then continue our journey to Pampa Linda, a must-stop for lunch.
After lunch, we continued our journey to the end of the trail and arrived at the foot of the highest peak in the National Park, Cerro Tronador, so named for the sound produced by the breaking and calving of the glaciers located on its summits. From this point, we can see the Río Manso Glacier, commonly known as the "Black Glacier," reaching the end of the trail. From here, we begin our return to Bariloche.
