Lake Gutiérrez Viewpoint Trail, the Nahuel Huapi National Park, Bariloche, Argentina.
Image by ER’s Eyes – Our planet is so beautiful.
The entrance to the trail is well indicated with a sign located in front of the Lago Gutiérrez Ranger Section. You have to pay close attention to the signs and not leave the path.
The road is wide and begins with a very slight slope bordering the Pescadero Stream and in the first meters it is crossed by a bike lane.
It is a trail that in the first part is self-guided and has informative posters about the Patagonian Andean forest and its natural processes. Arriving at a detour, this one indicates to continue to the left (the one on the right leads to the Cascada de los Duendes), and the next detour indicates to the right (the one on the left leads to Playa Muñoz and Refugio Emilio Frey). This last part is quite steep. You have to pay attention to the roots so as not to stumble.
The viewpoint offers a panoramic view of Lake Gutiérrez and the surrounding hills.
You return along the same path, paying attention at the crossroads so as not to get lost.
