Ride Argentina’s famous Seven Lakes Route from Bariloche to San Martín de los Andes, with Villa La Angostura, photo stops, and mountain views.

“A wonderful tour of the 7 lakes! Isis was such a fantastic tour guide - she gave informative insights about the lakes, as well as Patagonia and its flora and fauna.

3.Circuito Chico with optional Cerro Catedral

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 316 reviews · 4 - 8 hours · from $38

Review of Bariloche’s Circuito Chico tour, with Cerro Campanario, Llao Llao, panoramic viewpoints, and optional Cerro Catedral.

“Basically a bus ride around the lake. Listed as "The small circuit" we went to two or three viewing points to take photos then to a hill with a chairlift. We waited in line for 30 minutes to take a 5 minute ride to the top of a hill for better views. This doubled the cost of the bus ride. Another example of fleecing tourists. Greed and profit over people.”

The guides are outstanding and great conversationalists... we could have spent all day with Andy! Finally, lots of bonus features on this one. The route to and from the journey also takes you around the Circuito Chico sightseeing route, so you get to enjoy that tour as well. In addition, we had local snacks and a yerba mate experience while resting at the halfway point of our kayak trip. Basically a bunch of the Bariloche highlights all rolled into one!”
