In the southern Andes nestled between Nahuel Huapi Park in Argentina and Vicente Perez Rosales Park in Chile lies Cerro Tronador, or Mount Tronador, the highest mountain in Bariloche at 11,660 feet above sea level. Along with the stunning peaks, there is much to see in the surrounding area, home to seven glaciers that inspired the name for the mountain, which is named for the Spanish word for thunder, a sound similar to falling glacial ice. Getting there is an enjoyable journey along National Route 40 with its picturesque spots, including the banks of Guiterrez Lake and Mascardi Lake, Village Mascardi, Pampa Linda, and the unusually dark glacier Ventisquero Negro and Los Alerces waterfall.
