Nahuel Huapi Traverse (4 Refugios)

The Nahuel Huapi Traverse is a multi-day hut-to-hut route that circumnavigates the mountain ranges adjacent to San Carlos de Bariloche. The trail follows a high-alpine path, connecting four distinct mountain refugios via ridgelines, loose scree slopes, and granite passes. The terrain is characterized by a mix of Andean forest and exposed high-altitude terrain, where route-finding and stability on loose rock are primary requirements. The system of stone huts (refugios) provides a logistical framework for the journey, though hikers must be prepared for sustained physical output in an exposed mountain environment.

This sacred Himalayan site is situated on a sheer granite cliff 900 meters above the Paro Valley floor. The complex consists of four primary temples and residential shelters connected by a network of stone steps and narrow pathways. The route begins in a forest of ancient pine and hemlock, draped in Spanish moss, before transitioning to the famous viewpoint across the ravine. Access is managed through Bhutan's national tourism framework, ensuring that the site's spiritual integrity and physical preservation are maintained for future generations.
