Nahuel Huapi National Park

24th January 2010

We continued north on Route 40, now paved to Bariloche, winding through beautiful green Andean foothills.  We were back in the Lake District but this time (last time) there was not a cloud in the sky as we set off hiking in Nahuel Huapi National Park.

.

We took on a walk a bit harder than we expected having to scramble up big rocks, in between cracks, walk across snow and descend on almost vertical loose unstable rocky slopes.  The camping was great though.
