This collection features the 3,478-meter Cerro Tronador, known for its active glaciers and the unique black ice of Ventisquero Negro. It includes major ski centers like Cerro Catedral and Cerro Bayo, alongside the protected forests of Llao Llao. The landscape is defined by high-altitude refuges like Refugio Frey and a network of interconnected lakes including Mascardi, Espejo, and Traful.
