Cerro López, Mountain summit in Río Negro Province, Argentina

Cerro López is a mountain in Río Negro Province, Argentina, reaching 2,075 meters above sea level. It lies 25 kilometers from San Carlos de Bariloche, with Colonia Suiza to the east and Lakes Moreno and Nahuel Huapi to the north and northwest. The Arroyo López drains its northern slope into Lake Moreno Oeste.

The summit's name was given by Francisco Pascasio Moreno in honour of Vicente López y Planes, author of the Argentine National Anthem. The Refugio López, a mountain hut at 1,620 m with room for 100 people, was inaugurated on 15 April 1933 on the upper edge of the wooded area.

The name López honours Vicente López y Planes, author of the Argentine national anthem, chosen by Francisco Pascasio Moreno. The Refugio López, opened on 15 April 1933 and holding 100 people, is the landmark where walkers rest before continuing up the slope.

The refuge sits at 1,620 m at the upper edge of the forest and sleeps 100 people. Two ways reach it: a road that skirts the mountain, or a trail (picada) leaving where Arroyo López crosses the Circuito Chico road, at about km 27. The mountain stands 25 km from San Carlos de Bariloche.

The summit stands at 2,075 m, not the higher figure sometimes cited. Francisco Pascasio Moreno named the mountain after Vicente López y Planes, author of the Argentine national anthem. Below the wooded edge sits Refugio López, opened on 15 April 1933 at 1,620 m with room for 100 people.
