Mirador Castaño Overo: waterfalls on Cerro Tronador, Nahuel Huapi NP, Bariloche, Argentina, Patagonia, South America.

See multiple waterfalls plunge from Castaño Overo Glacier at Mirador Castaño Overo on Cerro Tronador, an extinct stratovolcano in the southern Andes, near Bariloche, in the Lake District of Argentina, in Patagonia, South America. This viewpoint from a side trail is marked as "Castaño Overo 1 Hour", an easy side trip from the longer path to Otto Meiling Refuge. The sound of falling seracs inspired the name Tronador, Spanish for "Thunderer." With an altitude of 3470 m, Tronador stands more than 1000 meters above nearby mountains in the Andean massif, making it a popular climb in Patagonia, South America. Located inside two National Parks, Nahuel Huapi in Argentina and Vicente Pérez Rosales in Chile, Tronador hosts eight glaciers, which are retreating due to warming of the upper troposphere.
