Description
This excursion offers a sweeping overview of the lake district and the Andean foothills surrounding Bariloche. The route covers approximately 40 miles, most of it tracing the shoreline of Lake Nahuel Huapi.
The journey heads west along the coastal avenue, winding through forests and scenic overlooks. Along the way, the landscape reveals the Huemul Island, Cerro Campanario, the Llao Llao Peninsula, the iconic hotel of the same name, and the charming San Eduardo Chapel. Each turn offers a new composition of water, peaks, and Patagonian forest.
A stop includes the optional chairlift ride to the summit of Cerro Campanario, widely regarded as one of the most breathtaking panoramic viewpoints in the region, where lakes and mountain ranges unfold in all directions.
After passing through the Llao Llao Peninsula, the route crosses a bridge connecting Lakes Nahuel Huapi and Moreno, skirting the latter’s shoreline before crossing a second bridge toward Laguna El Trébol. From there, the return to Bariloche begins, following gentle curves along the edge of the lagoon, framed by reflections and native forest. The circuit lasts approximately 3 hours.
