Description:
this is a different mountain from the others in the
area of Bariloche, that means glaciers, ancient ice, mighty peaks,
beautiful waterfalls... This trekking starts 90 kilometers away from
the city, leading us to the "Meiling" mountain hut, going up through a
wonderful forest in the first part and then along a wide ridge of lunar
characteristics (volcanic rocks) with impressive views of the glaciers
and waterfalls that soar for hundreds of meters.
The surrounding area of the Meiling Hut is one of the best places to watch
the amazing Andean Condor gliding very close to us. Imagine a 10 feet
wing-span flying a few feet away !!
During the afternoon of the first day or more likely in the second day
morning you have the option to take an additional guided activity. With
a specialized mountain guide member of the staff of the Meiling Hut, you
could go to the glacier located a few minutes away, walk with crampons
on it and take a first lesson of ice climbing. This excursion last for
about three hours and its price depends on the number of participants.
