ISLA VICTORIA

Discover all the beauty of Bariloche, from Clear water to amazing trees and enjoy the beauty of nature in his fullest colors, fresh clear air in Nahuel Huapi National Park. Nahuel Huapi National Park was created in 1934, expanding the already existing Parque Nacional del Sur, one of the first in America, whose origin (1922) was the beginning of the Argentine National Park system. The territory that today covers 705,000 hectares, included that first Park of 8,500 hectares, which had been donated by the Perito Francisco Pascasio Moreno to the National State, with the express request that it be preserved as a public park for posterity. The name Nahuel Huapi comes from the Mapuche language, meaning "island of the tiger".

Laguna Negra

  Laguna Negra is one the most beautiful of Bariloche´s many treks. The trail takes walkers through wonderful forest terrain set alongside the crystal blue waters of a mountain river.  Encapsulated on all sides by mountain ridges the scenery is almost surreal in its beauty. As the forest tapers off you come to a mountain waterfall and ascend up the rocky trail, with pristine views across the valley floor, to reach the haunting and beautiful Laguna Negra. Here you will find Refugio Italia set upon the lake shore with its fully equipped kitchen and warm welcome.  

How to get there

Take the number 10 bus, which runs every 2.5 hours, to Colonia Suiza. The trail begins 600 meters from Colonia Suiza. Alternately take the number 20 bus, which runs every 20 minutes, to the Roundabout at KM18. From the left exit take the number 13 bus, this runs every hour, to Colonia Suiza.
