Tagesausflug Nationalpark Queulat: Der magische hängende Gletscher

This day trip takes you to one of the most spectacular and unspoilt landscapes along the legendary Carretera Austral. The undisputed highlight of Queulat National Park is the Ventisquero Colgante – a majestic hanging glacier whose meltwater plunges in gigantic waterfalls down a steep rock face into an emerald-green lagoon. Exploring this ‘enchanted forest’ (Bosque Encantado) is an unforgettable experience. You’ll walk along well-maintained paths through dense, evergreen Valdivian rainforest, dominated by giant nalca plants, mosses and lichens. Depending on your preferred level of activity, there are various routes to choose from: ranging from a leisurely, flat walk to the viewpoint by the lagoon to a slightly more challenging but rewarding hike through the dense primeval forest up to the main viewing platform. In addition, the national park captivates visitors with the tranquillity of the Tempanos River and breathtaking views of the rugged mountain landscape. This tour offers the perfect combination of easily accessible facilities and the untamed, monumental natural power of Patagonia – an absolute must for discerning nature lovers.
