Cerro Tronador and Ventisquero Negro from Bariloche

Description

🌋 What is Cerro Tronador and the Ventisquero Negro?

  • Imagine standing in front of a mountain that roars.
    The     Cerro Tronador is not a poetic name: the real thunder of its breaking glaciers breaks the silence of the mountain range.
    It is the highest peak in Nahuel Huapi National Park and holds a volcanic history that beats beneath seven active glaciers.

    At its feet, the     Ventisquero Negro defies everything you thought you knew about glaciers: instead of white, it is dark. A living tongue of ice tinged with centuries of volcanic ash.
    Disturbing. Magnetic. Unique.

    You won't see any of this anywhere else in the world. And much less with this closeness.

🌟 Why choose this excursion?

  • 🧭 An off-the-map experience
    You explore an inactive volcano and a black glacier in a single day. It's not common, it's not repeatable. It's Patagonia at its wildest.
  • 👥 Small groups, exclusive views
    Maximum 16 people per outing. That means silence at the viewpoints, more time for you, and photos without crowds.
  • 🦅 Condor watching
    If luck is on your side, you will see the Andean king soaring above your head. A moment not to be forgotten.
  • 📚 Guides who tell stories, not just facts
    Experts in geology and local history. What you see becomes a thousand times more interesting when you understand what you are stepping on.
  • 🍲 Gourmet stop in the mountains
    Taste real Patagonian cuisine (not included) in a mountain refuge surrounded by nature. A pause that is also part of the journey.
  • 📷 Photos that don't need filters
    Among glaciers, rivers, forests, and mountains, this tour is designed to gift you with postcards at every stop.
