Visit the best panoramic lookouts of Bariloche alternating between short scenic drives and easy hikes.

This tour begins by hiking up to the top of a small hill known as Cerro Llao Llao. Only a one-hour hike through native “Nothofagus” forest and Caña Colihue fields, gaining elevation and scenery as we approach a granite dome overlooking the Nahuel Huapi lake. Close encounters with condors are very likely here!

After returning to our car we drive to another trailhead. From here, a half hour to 45-minute hike takes us to the Tristeza Inlet lookout to see the glaciated Mount Tronador in the distance. This is also a great lunch spot with a view!

Continuing our scenic drive along what is known as “Circuito Chico” road, we stop to enjoy yet another incredible view from the side of the road at “Punto Panorámico”. By now we should be able to get our bearings oriented in this beautiful array of lakes, inlets, and mountains.

Our final stop is at “Campanario” to take the chairlift to the top of this iconic Peak. Eager fitness freaks can hike up the steep trail instead. Campanario is considered one of World’s most spectacular views and the ideal spot to get a perspective on the intricate and stunning topography of the Nahuel Huapi National Park.
