Bariloche: Exploration Brazo Tristeza - Navigation

Among the innumerable options that the Nahuel Huapi National Park offers, there is a little-known route but no less spectacular for that. From Bahía López, 25 km from Bariloche, you can get to the Brazo Tristeza by motor boat. There, if the day is clear, you can see the glaciers at the top of Cerro Tronador, the highest in the park. When we reach the end of this Arm, we descend to land to walk a path through a dense forest, in which species known as the coihue and the cane alternate. Then we arrive at the Frey Stream Cascade. The flow of this stream varies according to the time of year, producing a peculiar and characteristic sound, which is generated when the water runs between wells, on a bed of rock polished by years of erosion.

It’s ok

Well, all good. Nice view and interesting information. However, a bit boring for whoever needs more activities not only taking a photo

Seeing Nature's Wonders.

Take this tour if you can. Yes the seven lakes is stunning but seeing the disappearing black glacier is quite overwhelming. Barbi our guide was so informative and passionate about the national park. She was able to explain about the geology and the flora and fauna both indigenous and introduced.

Beautiful Views…Amazing Guide

Our guide Jessi was amazing - lively, friendly and funny. This was a Spanish language tour, but she was happy to practice her English with us as our Spanish is limited. Absolutely amazing views! The only bad part is the very bumpy, winding roads, but it was worth it!

Best tour of Tronodor the highest peak

This is a very enjoyable tour to the national Park, Tronodor, waterfalls, and glaciers. We got picked up on our hotel in the morning and the two hour drive out to the national site was great we had our guide Barbi who was translating for us as they tour was mostly Spanish speakers. Barbie was in excellent guide and she isn't an exceptional knowledge of the park. We love this tour and we recommend it if you are wanting to see glaciers and not travel so far and if you still if you were going to be in the Bariloche area. I would highly recommend this tour Barbie with an excellent guide and the driver check us up and dropped us off as I said where we arranged and on time. The communication from this group and guide was excellent.

Beautiful National Park

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.

Beautiful landscapes coming alive!

The guide Sebastian was such a nice person, and knowledgeable too .. this was the very first day trip I took during my mobth-long Argentina and Chile trip and it was an absolutely amazing start! Though I don't speak or even understand Spanish at all, I booked the Spanish version of the trip in order to save cost and Sebastian very kindly explained little bit of history of Cerro Tronador to me and Anna (another tourist from my group, an English lady with almost no understanding of Spanish) which made the beautiful landscape come alive. I absolutely recommend this tour to both Spanish and English tourists!!! Bariloche is anyhow extremely beautiful and the people are very friendly and helpful too.
