What you'll see and do

  1. San Carlos de Bariloche

    Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in the centre of Bariloche and head towards Guttierrez and Mascardi Lakes. Driving along their shores, we will then take a dirt road to get to Cerro Tronador, where the journey really will start.

    Pass by without stopping

  2. Cerro Tronador

    Ride the coach a bit further to reach Cerro Tronador, the tallest mountain in the Lake District at 11,500 feet (3,500 meters). Home to seven glaciers, it was so named for the thunderous sound that ice chunks frequently make falling from the glaciers' faces. View Cerro Tronador's three peaks — Pico Chileno, Pico Argentino and Pico Internacional — while taking a short walk into the woods with your guide to view the glaciers.

  3. Climb back on the coach and continue along Mascardi Lake and across the popular white-water rafting destination, the Manso River. Stop in Pampa Linda, in the shadow of Cerrro Tronador, for lunch (own expense). Continue your coach journey through a forest of native lenga and coihue trees in the Vuriloches Valley until you reach the Ventisquero Negro (Black Snowdrift) glacier. Afterwards, we will get back on the vehicle and we will take you back to Bariloche.

Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bariloche.

How much does Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier cost?

+

Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bariloche usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier take?

+

Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bariloche is not rushed.

Is Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bariloche, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier?

+

Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bariloche can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bariloche and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Discover Cerro Tronador with Ventisquero Negro Glacier start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bariloche within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Bariloche?

+

On Outty we rank every Bariloche experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fly Fishing Bariloche, Trekking day in the mountains close to Bariloche, German Footprint & Nazi presence. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Bariloche?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Bariloche?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
