Age is not a limiting factor: these programs have been designed for people without previous experience. Furthermore, no special physical condition is required.

 

Tronador Gourmet – Aventure & Wine

 

Cerro Tronador is one of the main areas in the region, not only because it is the highest mountain surrounding Bariloche, but also because of its many glaciers and its unique eco-system.
It takes approximately two hours to reach Pampa Linda.
For around an hour and fifteen minutes, we pass by rivers and forests until we reach the junction of different paths.
We then head towards Valle del Castaño Overo, where a 45 minutes walk will allow us to see marvelous natural scenery: a hanging glacier, plenty of waterfalls making this area both spectacular and peculiar.
A three course lunch will be served while music will play in the background.
Walking is on gentle terrain and we do not pass by exposed slopes.
The ascent takes around two hours, and the descent is also two hours.
Optional: horseback riding returning from the Glacier Castaño Valley: one and a half hours instead of two hours walking.

Total time: between 8 to 19 hours.
