Closest Hotels to Nahuel Huapi National Park (Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi):
In 1903 Dr Francisco P Moreno donated 710,000 hectares (1,754,386 acres) of land which became a state national park known as Nacional del Sur (Southern National Park). In 1934 it was renamed Nahuel Huapi National Park which comes from the Mapuche language, Nahuel meaning 'tiger' and Huapi meaning 'island'. The park offers trekkers and sightseers many areas of natural beauty, including an extinct volcano called Tronador, alpine meadows and amazing fauna. The sprawling glacial lake, Lake Nahuel Huapi, stretches over 100km (63 miles) to the border with Chile; the lake contains a nature reserve, the Isla Victoria, which can be reached by private or organised boat trips.
