At least not if you want to experience its true essence. Did you know that some of Patagonia's most beautiful landscapes are <em>outside<\/em> del circuito tur\u00edstico? En este art\u00edculo te cuento lo que aprend\u00ed despu\u00e9s de tres viajes a Bariloche (s\u00ed, soy de repetir), y c\u00f3mo tener un auto fue la clave para descubrir caminos que parec\u00edan de otro planeta.<\/p>\n<p>Today I'm sharing with you <strong>Must-See Scenic Routes<\/strong> that you can explore by car. But I\u2019ll also share some real tips\u2014the kind you won\u2019t find in guidebooks. If you\u2019re wondering what to see in Bariloche by car, I guarantee that by the end of this post, you\u2019ll want to hit the road right away.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Circuito Chico: the route everyone recommends (and for good reason!)<\/h2>\n<p>Let's start with the easiest part\u2014and the most beautiful. The Circuito Chico in Bariloche is a 65-kilometer loop that combines the best of the south: lakes, mountains, forests, photo opportunities, hikes, delicious food, and tranquility. All in one.<\/p>\n<p>Start from downtown, take Bustillo Avenue, and begin driving along the Nahuel Huapi. You don't need a GPS. You'll see signs and other cars taking the same route.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What shouldn't you miss?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cerro Campanario: dej\u00e1 el auto y sub\u00ed a la aerosilla. Desde arriba, Bariloche parece una maqueta rodeada de espejos.<\/li>\n<li>Panoramic Viewpoint: the perfect spot to stop and enjoy some mate while taking in a 360\u00b0 view.<\/li>\n<li>Colonia Suiza: Try a curanto for lunch, but keep in mind it's only available on certain days. Otherwise, there are other delicacies to enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Recommended time:<\/strong> At least 3 hours. If you want to take your time, set aside half a day.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Llao Llao Park: to get lost in the woods (and rediscover yourself)<\/h2>\n<p>Este parque se conecta con el Circuito Chico, pero es otra experiencia. Ac\u00e1 no hay tanto tr\u00e1fico ni turistas con c\u00e1mara. Solo vos, el auto y la naturaleza.<\/p>\n<p>You can park your car in the marked parking lots and hike some easy trails. The Arrayanes trail is short and very beautiful. In the fall, it's a spectacular display of colors.<\/p>\n<p>The Llao Llao Hotel is nearby. I like to stop there, even if it's just for a cup of coffee. There's something about that view that always makes me feel small.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Access:<\/strong> exclusively by car or on private tours.<\/p>\n<h2>3. The Seven Lakes Route: from Bariloche to Villa La Angostura (and beyond)<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a whole day and feel like driving, this is <em>the<\/em> A drive. The Seven Lakes Route is a parade of landscapes: lakes, snow-capped mountains, and endless forests. And best of all: the road is in excellent condition.<\/p>\n<p>In just 85 km, you'll reach Villa La Angostura, a cool mountain town. Stop at the lookout points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lake Espejo<\/li>\n<li>Correntoso Lake<\/li>\n<li>Hidden Lake<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Personal tip:<\/strong> Have some homemade food downtown and come back when the sun starts to set. The sky turns pink, and the street takes on a whole new look.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Bonus: Cerro Catedral + Lake Guti\u00e9rrez = a perfect day<\/h2>\n<p>Esta combinaci\u00f3n me la pas\u00f3 un chico de la oficina de alquiler cuando fui a buscar el auto. Gracias a \u00e9l descubr\u00ed que el Cerro Catedral no es solo para esquiar. Fuera de temporada se puede hacer trekking, andar en bici o simplemente subir y mirar.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back, head down the road toward Lake Guti\u00e9rrez. It\u2019s easy to get to, has a beach, and plenty of shade. It\u2019s the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat next to your car and dip your feet in the water if you don\u2019t feel like going in all the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Why rent a car in Bariloche?<\/h2>\n<p>The answer is simple: because you can't really explore Bariloche on an organized tour. Having your own vehicle gives you time, freedom, and access to places that aren't included on any tour.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You get everywhere faster.<\/li>\n<li>You decide when to slow down and how long to stay.<\/li>\n<li>You go at your own pace, without having to follow a schedule or join a group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I was lucky enough to rent from <strong>Invernalia Rent a Car | Car Rental in Argentina<\/strong>, y me facilitaron todo. Me entregaron el auto directamente en el aeropuerto, con seguro y cadenas para nieve incluidas (fui en agosto). Y lo m\u00e1s importante: no era un auto viejo. La flota de Invernalia es moderna, y eso se nota cuando vas por caminos de ripio o hielo.<\/p>\n<h2>Real recommendations (not from a brochure)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Book early if you're going on winter or summer vacation.<\/li>\n<li>Ask about insurance coverage for secondary roads; not all car rental companies include it.<\/li>\n<li>Ped\u00ed un auto con buen ba\u00fal si vas a moverte mucho (los paisajes te tientan a parar todo el tiempo y juntar cosas).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, even though it may sound obvious: always bring water, a cell phone charger, and a snack. Distances can be deceiving.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: The magic is in the journey<\/h2>\n<p>When someone asks me what to see in Bariloche by car, I always say the same thing: <strong>everything<\/strong>. Porque no es solo un lugar, es un viaje. Y si ten\u00e9s la posibilidad de alquilar un auto, hacelo. Vas a descubrir lugares que no est\u00e1n en Instagram ni en TikTok.
