Short Circuit Tour:
If you visit Bariloche, there's one excursion you simply can't miss: the famous Circuito Chico. It's the gateway to the region's most iconic landscapes and, in just half a day, allows you to connect with the natural beauty and essence of this mountain city.
The adventure begins on Avenida Ezequiel Bustillo, a picturesque road that winds alongside the imposing Nahuel Huapi Lake. As we progress, urban buildings fade away, and the landscape transforms into a natural canvas, where forests of cypress, maitene, coihue, and ñire trees envelop you with their fragrance and color.
At kilometer 17, one of the route's jewels awaits you: Cerro Campanario. At 1,050 meters high, its summit offers one of the eight best panoramic views in the world.
The route continues to kilometer 24, where architectural wonders begin to appear, such as the charming San Eduardo Chapel, the elegant Llao Llao Hotel, and Puerto Pañuelo, a scene that looks like something out of a postcard. From there, we enter the serenity of Villa Tacul and the crystal-clear waters of Lago Escondido.
One of the most surprising points is the crossing of the Angostura Bridge, where Lakes Nahuel Huapi and Perito Moreno embrace in a spectacle of colors and reflections.
The Mirador del Lago Moreno, known as the Panoramic Point, offers a privileged view that invites you to stop and simply admire it. On the way back, we pass the tranquil Laguna El Trébol, while the road takes us back to the city center via the same Bustillo Avenue.
In just 60 kilometers, you'll have explored the lakes, mountains, and forests that make up Bariloche's vibrant soul. A journey that combines nature, history, and unforgettable landscapes, leaving each visitor with a little piece of Patagonian magic.
Cerro Catedral Tour:
The majestic Cerro Catedral owes its name to the imposing towers at its summit, which evoke the silhouette of a Gothic cathedral high in Patagonia. This place is not only a natural icon, but also the heart of adrenaline and adventure year-round.
In winter, the Antonio M. Lynch Winter Sports Center transforms into a white paradise for ski and snowboard enthusiasts. Here, professionals and amateurs find the ideal setting to glide down its famous slopes, participate in international competitions, and experience the thrill of snow at its finest.
The ski resort boasts first-class infrastructure, comparable to the most prestigious slopes in Europe. From the base, modern lifts transport you to platforms where you can enjoy a break with incomparable views. Pastries and restaurants offer options ranging from comforting hot chocolate to exquisite mountain cuisine.
The descent is an unforgettable experience, whether skiing down the different slopes, gliding down the cable car, or enjoying the panoramic views from the cable car track.
But Cerro Catedral doesn't just shine in winter. Throughout the rest of the year, the mountain reveals a different side: hiking trails, outdoor excursions, and a natural setting that invites you to explore its most hidden corners. Although some cable cars are closed off-season, the landscape makes up for it with its serenity and the opportunity to connect with the vast Patagonian landscape.
