Cerro Tronador and Ventisquero Negro from Bariloche

9 hours

Easy

Explore Cerro Tronador and the most amazing black glacier in Patagonia. I spent a day surrounded by volcanoes, active ice and landscapes that seem to be from another planet.

🌋 What are the Tronador Hill and the Black Snowdrift?

  • Imagine standing in front of a roaring mountain.
    El     Cerro Tronador It's not a poetic name: the real thunder of its cracking glaciers breaks the silence of the mountain range.
    It is the highest peak in the Nahuel Huapi National Park and has a volcanic history that today beats under seven active glaciers.

    At his feet, the     Ventisquero Negro It challenges everything you thought you knew about glaciers: instead of white, it's dark. A living tongue of ice dyed by centuries of volcanic ash.
     Disturbing. Magnetic Unique.

    You're not going to see any of this anywhere else in the world. And much less so with this closeness.
