Gutiérrez Lake, Glacial lake in northern Patagonia, Argentina.
The lake extends across the Bariloche Department within Río Negro Province, surrounded by Mounts Otto, Catedral, and De la Ventana peaks.
Explorer Francisco P. Moreno named the lake after Juan María Gutiérrez, his academic mentor who contributed to Argentina's scientific development.
The Dr. Rosendo Pascual museum near the lake displays geological specimens and fossils, presenting the evolution of Patagonian landscapes.
Visitors reach the lake by following Route 40 for 15 kilometers from Bariloche, with multiple beaches and camping areas along the western shore.
Despite its high altitude and distance from oceans, the lake hosts marine birds like kelp gulls and blue-eyed cormorants.
