Peninsula Llao Llao Hiking Traverse

It’s my pleasure to propose you a nice half day tour, hiking around the Llao Llao peninsula. As a culmination of the day, we’ll reach the top of the Cerro Llao Llao.

This hike I am proposing today, offers a great alternative to explore the Llao Llao peninsula and access to beautiful panoramic views without too much effort. It’s a trek that can be done all year round and will take between 4 and 6 hours in total.

It is a perfect easy walk to warm your legs before a bigger mountaineering goal. Furthermore, it’s also a good option for people who enjoy long walks but without too much physical challenge.

As for the itinerary, our hiking day starts in the vicinity of the Llao Llao Hotel. It is one of the most popular sites in North Patagonia. Here we will follow a system of well marked trails through the Llao Llao Natural Reserve. It is an area whose objective is to protect and preserve an old forest of Cypresses and Coihues as well as many other perennial trees.

In addition, the aim of this hiking day is to enjoy nature by accessing different shores of the Moreno and Nahuel Huapi lakes. Combining several trails we will arrive at Villa Tacul. Then, in a bay of crystalline waters, we will find the ideal place to taste a lunch at the lake shore.

During the afternoon, the walk ascends to the top of Cerro Llao Llao. From its summit you will see the most beautiful views as well as the flora of the place, full of orchids and native lilies.

Finally, we’ll go down through another path and again cross the peninsula to our starting point. That way we’ll form a loop of about 10 kilometers round. The altitude change will be around 200 meters.

This experience also offers you the opportunity to visit the famous Llao Llao Hotel and the San Eduardo Chapel.
