More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a narrow trail as the afternoon softens, lenga trunks throwing long, clean shadows across the path. The city lights of San Carlos de Bariloche sit low behind you while the western sky bleeds orange; the trail climbs through a high-altitude beech (lenga) forest and opens to ridgeline views of valleys and Nahuel Huapi Lake.

History
The route lies within the Nahuel Huapi region—Argentina’s oldest national park—and passes through native lenga forests that shaped local mountain culture and early alpine travel.
Conservation
Stay on established trails and pack out all waste; lenga regeneration is slow and trails help protect root zones and understory plants.
