Introduction

Nahuel Huapi National Park lies around Bariloche in Argentine Patagonia and is the country's oldest national park, celebrated for the Andes, glacial lakes and dense forest. The central Lake Nahuel Huapi mirrors the sky in blue, and boats ferry visitors to the surreal arrayán (myrtle) forest; winter brings skiing at Cerro Catedral, one of South America's top resorts, while summer and autumn suit hiking, fishing and stargazing. Blending alpine scenery with outdoor adventure, it is the gateway to northern Patagonia. Several campgrounds and visitor centres offer guides and gear rental, ideal for multi-day lake-and-mountain exploration.
