Nice view on a sunny day

Fantastic view from the summit on a sunny day. Bariloche, the lakes and surrounding mountains. Quite expensive though for 450 Argentinian Pesos!

Tourist Trap - Avoid

We found this place to be a complete tourist trap, verging on a scam, and I would advise people to avoid it. From our experience, the view from the top of Cerro Campanario was better, and doesn't require you to be ripped off. Full detail:...More
