Circuito Chico & Panoramic Point
The perfect introduction to Bariloche. A half-day route among lakes, forests and some of the city’s most iconic viewpoints, including Bahía López, Panoramic Point and the traditional Llao Llao area.
The experience
The excursion follows the traditional Circuito Chico, travelling through forest and lakeside landscapes with several opportunities to stop and take in the surroundings. Along the way are Bahía López and Panoramic Point, two natural viewpoints highlighted by Inspiro for appreciating the region’s scenery. The route continues through the Cerro Campanario area at Km 17. Guests who wish may take the chairlift for panoramic views from the mountain. The ascent is optional and not included in the excursion. The route also passes the surroundings of Puerto Pañuelo, Hotel Llao Llao and San Eduardo Chapel, three characteristic landmarks of this part of Bariloche. At the end of the circuit, return to the city.
