What to do in Bariloche? Visit to Cerro Campanario
One of the
most popular attractions in Bariloche is to take a trip to the top of Cerro
Campanario, a small hill located on the outskirts of the city, on Circuito
Chico. Of course, this is one of our favorites after-school activities.
It is in the Nahuel Huapi National Park, and we get easily to base after 30 min ride by a public bus from the center of Bariloche. From the base of the hill, we have the option to take a chair lift to the top or walk up.

Having spent 45 minutes hiking up there, we arrive to the top from where we are rewarded with a 360 degree view of the area. The legend says National Geographic had selected this vista as one of the ten best in the world.
After a day
spent attending Spanish lessons, this view of the Andes and the cold and
deep blue waters of sizeable Nahuel Huapi Lake are simply breath-taking, and
100% worth waiting for.

What to do in Bariloche? Visit to Centro Cívico Clock
As you may know Centro Cívico is a top attraction for tourists and visitors
in Bariloche. The imposing buildings made of local greenish stones and the
large wooden doors surrounding a relatively small square correspond to the
facilities of the Town Hall, the Provincial Police, Tourist Information office,
Sarmiento Library and and Patagonian Museum.
Among public buildings, the Town Hall stands out due to its size and
beauty. Its main wing ends in a tower from where an old clock accompanies the
passing of time with its chimes every half an hour. This clock was brought from
Switzerland and installed in 1940. A small window opens under the clock
activating a mechanism for four wooden figures that appear and greet each other
when the clock strikes 12am and 6pm. These figures represent the earliest
population in the area: one native (Tehuelche/Mapuche), one pioneer
(immigrants), one priest and one soldier.
This clock has been opened for guided visits, after several years. Now,
every Tuesday and Wednesday tourists and locals can explore the gears of the clock.
It is a perfect tour to practice Spanish after lessons and learn about Bariloche history while enjoying the views from the tower.
Come and join us! We will visit it soon!
