This is a book 6 in my new series of "Hiking Maps" for wonderful unearthly beautiful Patagonia, for its oldest national park Nahuel Huapi with breathtaking landscapes of mountains, glaciers and lakes, of course, fully updated for 2024-25 season. The book contains 14 detailed hiking maps, technical details for each trail like distance (km and miles), hiking time, altitude elevation, gain and loss in altitude, visual altitude profiles, itinerary landmarks, free and paid camping sites, mountain huts (refugio), river crossing, bridges, lookouts (mirador), sightseeing, local bus network. The book describes the major hiking trails (32+) in the park around San Carlos de Bariloche city, but also additional less-known trails and less crowded multi-day hikes at its most remote southern and northern parts of the park, plus, in the small Los Arrayanes National Park, a very popular tourist attraction for hiking in the ancient Arrayanes (Chilean myrtle tree) forest. I also give information on San Carlos de Bariloche city, camping sites with a map, bus stops, airport info, catamaran ferries, then the park info, park rules and current entrance prices, how to get to Bariloche by bus or plane, with 50+ useful web links, and how to hike safely in Patagonia, art and skills in surviving harsh Patagonian conditions, especially in the Andes region, as a hiker. This collection of hiking maps is in color printed on high quality paper in a compact 6x9 in (15.2x22.8 cm), lightweight, robustly made book format, which can fit into any backpack and be easily used while you are hiking and or during planning, researching your hikes. The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo, group travelers, in "fast & easy" style with a rented car, campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife, travel or landscape photographers on a mission, digital nomads. I hope the book will be a good "practical tool", while you are exploring the world with responsible mind and open heart as a truly nature lover.
