Tour Details

Are you ready to explore both Circuito Chico and Cerro Catedral in a single day? We'll gather at San Martín 398 before departing from Bariloche along the beautiful Avenida Exequiel Bustillo. Let the adventure begin!

Our journey will take us through the Melipal neighborhood, nestled along the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake. Our first stop will be at Playa Bonita, a tranquil location where you can admire Huemul Island while we share insights about its historical connection to an old nuclear initiative.

Next, we will head to Serene Bay, where you'll embark on a chairlift to Cerro Campanario. Be prepared to capture breathtaking views from this vantage point!

We'll then proceed to the iconic Llao Llao Hotel alongside Puerto Pañuelo and San Eduardo Parish, situated between Argentino Lake and Nahuel Huapi Lake. This is the perfect opportunity to hike through the enchanting Patagonian forest of Llao Llao Municipal Park.

As we return to the Circuito Chico, we'll pass by Villa Tacul, Escondido Lake, and Moreno Lake. Don’t miss the chance to stop at the renowned Panoramic Point of Circuito Chico, a stunning viewpoint offering sweeping landscapes of snowy peaks and shimmering waters.

Our next destination is a quick 30-minute drive to Cerro Catedral, celebrated as the leading ski resort in South America. Its mountain formations, reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral, will offer a striking backdrop where you can enjoy marvellous vistas of Cerro Tronador and Volcán Puntiagudo.

The highlight of your visit will be 3.5 hours of free time at Cerro Catedral. If you're visiting during winter, take advantage of the skiing or snowboarding opportunities, or simply relax and take in the views from the restaurant terraces. At other times of the year, we suggest strolling through the area with picturesque overlooks of Nahuel Huapi Lake.

Finally, we will return to Bariloche, wrapping up this exhilarating 9-hour journey.
