Nature is the main attraction of San Carlos de Bariloche. Nestled among forests, mountains and rivers, this tourist destination (one of the most sought after in Patagonia Argentina), concentrates its most popular walks in its majestic and fascinating landscapes.

There are terrestrial options such as Circuito Chico and Camino 7 Lagos, which give us the best panoramas of the city, its flora and even fauna, including special stops, short walks along trails and viewpoints.
