The tour departs from Bariloche on Route 40 Sur. After 45 km, we cross the Pampa de Huenuleo, border Lake Gutierrez and cross the Pilmayen and Melgarejo streams. After passing through the watershed, we follow the banks of Lake Mascardi until we take the detour to the Thronador by a path of ripio.

The tour continues around Lake Mascardi again along its west coast until it reaches the viewpoint of Heart Island. Afterwards, we pass in front of the Cerro Los Emparedados and follow the course of the Manso Superior River to Pampa Linda, one of the best panoramic points to appreciate the Tronador in its full magnitude.

Then we cross part of the valley of the Vuriloches and, after entering a dark forest, we reach the imposing Black Blizzard.

The excursion ends at the foot of Cerro Tronador, which at 3,454 meters above sea level is the highest point of Nahuel Huapi National Park.
