Lake Gutiérrez
Lago Gutiérrez
A long, narrow glacial lake just south of Bariloche, with forest trails along its shores and the Cascada de los Duendes waterfall. It is quieter than the main lake.
Lago Gutiérrez lies about 10 km south of Bariloche. This glacial lake is about 12 km long from north to south, with Cerro Catedral to the west. Its water is clear, and it is surrounded by southern beech forest. The north shore has sandy beaches and visitor facilities, where you can swim, kayak and stand-up paddleboard in summer. On the east shore, Villa Los Coihues is a quiet residential area. Forest trails from here lead to the Cascada de los Duendes, a round trip of about 1 to 2 hours. Route 40 runs along the east shore of the lake and is the essential road to Lago Mascardi, Tronador and El Bolsón. It can be reached by bus or by bicycle.
