We were picked up at around 8.30 by a minibus from our location in the Bariloche city centre and the tour lasted around 4 hours. The guide, Flor, was super nice and very knowledgeable, and she kept everyone entertained as she engaged with the passengers. We did a few stops and had a chance to go up Cerro Campanario for some amazing views. We went to a sightseeing spot where you can appreciate the traditional Llao Llao hotel and a snowy Cerro Tronador in the distance. I was travelling with my 69 yo mum for a very short break from Buenos Aires, so it was ideal as it didn't involve much walking but you could still have an overview of what Bariloche has to offer. On our return we were taken back to our original locations, though there was the option of being dropped off on the way. I highly recommend this experience, we truly enjoyed it (mind you, the tour is in Spanish, I don't know if they offer it in English).

The chairlift is definitely worth a visit . The views are spectacular. We did have a problem with obtaining the tickets . I downloaded the vouchers with the QR code and they refused to take it . They said I had to contact the tour company to print the voucher . Luckily my friend speaks Spanish and the guy phoned them for us . It would easier to buy them directly at the front office rather than booked via get your guide .

Beautiful place! Unfortunately, as we were with a group and a guide, it was very quick to get to know, just 30 minutes. Next time we'll go by car and spend more time enjoying the place!

Quick 4h ride , very good , beautiful landscapes , the cable car showed a stunning lake . Take cash , for the cable car .

Puntualidad y excelente servicio de la guía turística
