Visit Nahuel Huapi National Park in Argentina
« on: March 22, 2021, 02:54:58 PM »
Nahuel Huapi National Park is based around imposing Andean mountains and a scenic lake of the same name. It is the oldest national park in Argentina, having been established in 1934. The park is also the largest in the region, with an area of 2,720 square miles (7,050 square kilometers). Take part in many outdoor activities, from rafting and kayaking to paragliding and mountain biking.

Take your family or friends on a scenic trek through the forests and valleys of the park. The quickest trails include the Cerro Llao Llao, which should take only 2 or 3 hours to reach the summit. It offers splendid views of Nahuel Huapi Lake. For shorter walks, climb Cerro Campanario or visit Los Duendes Waterfall. Experienced hikers may prefer a route that covers the entire park from Pampa Linda to Colonia Suiza, which takes around 5 days.

Admire the region’s intriguing vegetation in the rainforests of the western section. Note the lenga and coihue trees that are typical of the region, along with xerophyte Patagonian bushes that dominate the eastern part of the park. As for animals, spot the foxes, cougars and many other species that live here. Look for the legendary lake monster called Nahuelito.

The park has several activity hubs, such as Cerro Catedral with skiing and rafting. In Pura Vida enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking and golf. Camp at one of the sites with basic amenities, such as Refugio Frey or Refugio Italia.

One could spend months on end in Bariloche and still find unique things to do on a daily basis. The area is really that diverse and so chock-full of attractions and activities that the only reasonable answer would be ‘as long as you possibly can’.

On average, however, most visitors will spend 4 days here, choosing 2 full-day active excursions (like horseriding or hiking) and alternating those with a one-day tour of town and its historical and cultural attractions, and one day’s outing on 4WD to nearby waterfalls and drop-dead gorgeous scenic viewpoints.
Luckily, you’ll be able to indulge in Bariloche’s delectable foodie scene at the end of every exciting day.

The ideal time to visit Bariloche will very much depend on what it is you wish to do, with the town and entire region open for tourism all year long. The major differences between seasons – aside from obvious activities like winter skiing – are transport options. There are times of the year when overland travel is tricky due to bad weather causing disruptions to access roads in the remotest regions, so do check with us if you wish to overland to or from Bariloche.

Summer in Bariloche is about as good as it can get for those who wish to do everything except ski, with a swarm of options for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking. Sunbathers will love spending the day on Playa Bonita, no doubt, and the most adventurous can also take a plunge on Lake Nahuel Huapi, whose temperature doesn’t rise much above 15 degrees Celsius, even at the height of summer. Don’t forget that summer nights are still quite cool in Bariloche, so refer to out parking tips below before leaving home.
The shoulder months of October and November are ideal for those who still wish to indulge in active outings but want to find a quieter Bariloche. Temperatures are already quite pleasant then and most activities will start in earnest from the beginning of October, all the way up until about the end of February.

The Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi is one of the most important national parks in Patagonia. It can be visited all year round, by earth or water transportation means. From its entrance, located in Puerto Pañuelo, several tours can be hired, including the one that crosses to Chile. The fairs for the park entry and tours can be paid in cash or with credit cards. The directory ultimately helps to intend travelers to have a better understanding of the location as it also serves as an educator on popular tourist attractions worldwide.

Here is a cool video of how to effectively use the travel directory: https://youtu.be/pfejm8TzNCw
