I was excited to visit this place. Usually parks out of the city have more space for the animals and care well for them. This is a classic example of animal exploitation. Small enclosures, stinking of feces. Lone animals looking sad and pacing. This place should be shut down, and don’t get me started on the plastic animatronics and broken items and games. The place is a giant smelly mud puddle.

Great to see so many rescued animals being well cared of and having such a close encounter with them. Employees were well educated in all aspects in knowledge of the Safari Park and very friendly. To make things better, the food at the Restaurant was great. Will visit again. Thank you! Carlos and Elisabeth, New Jersey, USA

It looks like an 18 century zoo, the animals are in small and dirty cages, they looked stresses.

Great place for a nice safari ! Was able to feed the herbivores and got really close to the lion ! Animals seem to be really taken care of :)

We came very late, but it was a lot of fun and I recommend it. Some exhibits were closed unfortunately, but still worth it.

An awesome experience to have with your family. The entire park is good, but for sure the best part is the feline safari.

Amazing experience. This is our second visit and it won’t be our last. The only issue, which wasn’t the fault of the Safari Rancagua, was the excessive loud music coming from off the property between 1 am and 6 am. No sleep for us but we still enjoyed the accommodations and being close to all the animals.

Wonderful ceviche and seafood dishes served on a patio overlooking a rocky seaside. The waves crash onto the rocks just 20 meters from your table. It’s a gem of a restaurant with excellent service. They also have takeaway ice cream and some local clothing for sale.

This is a special place. Some venues claim they are right on the water but here, you are *right* on the water We were lucky enough to score the best table, right on the water overlooking the waves while the sun shone on our last day in Chile. Sure, the service wasn't the quickest and staff were a bit indifferent to us and our needs, but we didn't have issues getting drinks or our food. The dishes were just superb as well. Juicy, tasty and overflowing with flavour. Enjoyed every bite of our Ceviche, grilled octopus and sesame tuna. Cocktails were bang on and the wine list hit the mark in every way. Yes, we even had a fantastic rose in Chile! Not sure why so much hate in here as we loved it. An outstanding lunch and we'd go again in a heartbeat. 👍

It's a beautiful place with a very nice view. However, the host on the day of our reservation was nothing but rude when we arrived. Worst, despite the fact I made the reservation a week in advance they didn't have it and when I tried to show the confirmation from my email the person did nothing but ignore my attempt to show it on my phone. It was very uncomfortable but at least we got a table. Apart from this, our waitress was very nice and made an effort to make us feel welcome. The food was ok.

La Sal is a restaurant that impresses on many levels, particularly with its picturesque seafront setting. It provides stunning views of the Pacific, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy delicious food by the sea in a laid-back atmosphere with excellent service. They use fresh ingredients, serve generous portions (cooked to perfection), and offer a small yet outstanding selection of drinks. However, I would rate it 4 stars due to the excessive prices, especially considering the use of locally sourced ingredients. Apart from that, a visit to La Sal is highly recommended for a delicious seafood experience.

I had really high expectations for this restaurant after hearing so many good things from others. Unfortunately, it did not match the hype. There was nothing special about anything we ate, and more than half of the menu was unavailable. For the prices they charge I would have hoped for something more notable or different. The service was also poor, their staff is in dire need of training. Nice view though...

They might have taken a little too long to get our drinks, but it was totally worth it. Pisco Sour was great, as was the fish of the day. Friendly servers, I’ll definitely will come back for more!

Great ocean view and good fish, just don't go for dinner or order cocktails... It's unfortunate that such a lovely venue with a clearly talented chef would diminish the dining experience by moments of poor service. 1. The cocktails were pre-mixed and not great. Our Old Fashion came with already melted ice, and the Pisco Sour was clearly pre-mixed. Why not have a savvy bartender at a place that purports to be fine dining? 2. The hours indicate being open until 11pm on a Sat night; however, by 10pm the staff was clearly ready to shut down, and we felt rushed to leave. We had to ask two servers not to take away our plates when there was still food on them, but worst of all, for the latter part of our meal we were disrupted by clanking of dishes, moving of tables, and even the repositioning of the outdoor heater right in front of our indoor table (see photo). We've been there for lunch / afternoon, and it's really pleasant; however, I would never go back for dinner.

Absolutely stunning. An unbelievably extensive collection of fascinating objects, beautifully displayed and clearly very well taken care of. I questioned why the ticket covers 24 hours but after the museum I agree that there is too much to really see for one day! I go to a lot of museums but this has to be my all time favourite. I really enjoyed seeing the early marking machinery and the early tank. There is also a wide gauge steam loco with beautifully preserved rolling stock. A real joy to visit.

Indeed a very interesting museum and well worth your time and money! They have a collection on basically everything, from fossils to ancient ages to conquistadors and the modern age. Impressive set of artefacts and stories, you could spend more than a day there. I really do recommend. And they have a nice, safe, free parking just in front 😀

One of the best museums I've visited. Be aware that most of the signs aren't in English but I just translated with Google lens. I went back twice as the ticket allows 24hr entry.

Unmissable collection of thousand of well curated pieces of Chilean and universal history, your ticket is 24 hrs long so you can comeback to see every item

Without any doubt, the Colchagua museum is a must while in Santa Cruz if you like museums, of course, it has a brief introduction on how earth started, main ages from the paleozoic era l till our days, and it gets more detail in the southern American cultures, getting more detailed towards the ones who occupied the actual Chilean land, most of then sadly extinguished by the colonization process, who is also depicted, as well as the different periods of the Chilean history to finally ends with the Colchagua valley and its huasos, in brief, is a history tell as a funnel converging in this territory. It also has an industrialization area, mainly represented by late XIX and early XX centuries, beautiful machines, definitely lovely and also liked it very much a huge collection of amber with lot of bugs and plants captured within, you have the help of augmented lens to see them through the light. Sounds good, right? It is indeed, the only missing star is because some info is not totally accurate and most because there's no written info in other language than Spanish, that's all.

Excellent, excellent museum covering the whole history of Chile from prehistory up until the present, with especially impressive collections of precolumbian art, jewelry and tapestry. It's a private collection of impressive scale and quality. There are also fascinating exhibits on weapons, carriages and even the Chilean miner rescue of 2010. My whole family loved this museum

This museum is huge, i didn't think I'd spent this much time there but it was definitely needed. You'll end up going through a lot of history of Chile, from the oldest to recent stuff. The collection of items and artefacts us to be seen, be ready to spend hours wandering around. The building itself is a piece of history being a reconstruction after the previous building was torn down by an earthquake

We booked the carriage tour of vineyard (which they happily reorganised for us due to weather) and was really impressed with our guide Bastian, who was very charming and knowledgeable. The surroundings and scenery are spectacular with stables and horses grasing in the paddocks. The tasting was of high quality and the talk on history of vineyard very interesting.

Good experience. Awesome wine. Best Malbec in Chile

The most beautiful vineyard we visited while in the region. We had an incredible tour guide while on the horse drawn carriage tour, and it was a wonderful experience tasting several wines. Every person we talked to here was so kind and willing to answer all of our questions. I could’ve spent much more time exploring the grounds and drinking the delightful wine!

Beautiful place where you really find peace and passion for wine. Beautiful facility, would have loved to come with more time to enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Enjoyed the tour and the wine sampling was exceptional.

Had a great morning on the e-bike tour plus wine tasting with Isabel. It was just the 2 of us, so a very personal tour, and it was also harvest time, which made it more special. Isabel is a great guide, very knowledgeable, made us feel very welcome and speaks very good English. After a gentle pedal around the picturesque vineyards, we then tasted some very good wines with snacks in part of the lovely buildings. I highly recommend a visit to Viu Manent.

Great winery. Spectacular tour, you may see the vineyards while a short trip in a carriage pulled by beautiful horses. At the end, you can visit the family cellar, and if you are lucky you may keep one of the wines of the tasting. We choose the iconic Incidente ;)

We took the premium tour that includes a ride in a horse drawn carriage. The tour was fun and very informative. The tasting at the end of the tour was very generous and gave plenty of time to enjoy their excellent wines.

Las Leñas is well known for their après time vibes, a few challenging runs and the best off piste terrain in Argentina. And, of course, being the only true ski in / ski out resort down here. And boy … do they know that and maker that. As mentioned it’s THE place if you enjoy off piste… the actual runs are average, not that challenging leaving aside Marte zone where you can’t get some fun advanced terrain. They have a respectable beginners area for Argentina standards and adding they hotel / bars / restaurant offer right at the base, a place to be enjoyed by skiers of all levels. It does gets terribly packed in the heavy season, not a lot of lifts makes that experience not that enjoyable so it would be wise to try to avoid July … but their snow in the last few years was scarce at best … so trip down when you have to!

2025 - there is a ton of snow and only one side of the mountain is open, about a quarter of the lifts / pistes are open, no explanation as to why, falsely advertised. A real shame as in the past have had a great time, reasonably small resort but beautiful, possible to stay v close to the lifts and fun apres-ski etc

Great tracks, and great snow most of the season. Off tracks are easy to find and also really fun. Views are excellent too. Problems are the snow by mid August, and the lifts are the slowest you'll ever encounter.

Perched in the amazing peaks of the Argentine Andes this is a small ski resort by European standards but the piste skiing is great as long as the Marte lift is open (maybe 50% of the time). The lifts are old and slow

I have my own disagreement on how to rate this. As a “ski resort” I rate it below average (3 stars is average), comparing it to other major sky resorts of Argentina. As a “Mountain to sky” I can extend to to 4 points, with many good runs and nice snow. So let’s see why 2 stars: 1. poor poor poor poor infrastructure... been here 20 years ago, and it seems all the same. One day did spend an unreasonable time doing lines for the lifts (meaning that in all ski resorts you will do reasonable lines). 2. Ski rentals offer is poor, leading the companies to charge you whatever they want, since there is no competition. 3. Very small places to eat at the mountains , one better than the other, still not at the quality you expect for the money you pay 4. Not good airport communication, so you pay a lot of extra money if you do not have a package 5. Since is just that, a ski resort far away from cities, you have to just relax and be prepared to charge you expensive prices to eat or drink. I’m sorry is not as good as its marketing Makes it look like.

Enjoining autumn in Las Leñas. It's a peaceful place for relaxing before the ski season.

This place lacks reviews in English so here goes mine. The place itself is just for skiing and snowboarding, the village does not offer anything else so I don't really recommend bringing children. The main advantage and difference between this resort and others in argentina is that the hotels are right in front of the lifts. The food here is quite expensive unless your money exchange rate is good enough which i doubt. The mountain itself is pretty good, nice open roads and good lifts, my only complain is the long wait while you're on the lift, for example, getting to the top of the mountain is basically an hour of lifts but the experience of going down is quite unique. Off Piste is a big part of this resort and advanced skiers can take advantage of this (the resort offers guides which is quite nice when you don't know the mountain). Overall, if you come to ski and only ski this is the place for you.

In this time , mid March it’s very dry . You only see 3-4 cups, pools and water falls . The trail is easy but dusty . Good thing is now there are very few people. Go further up the road to Parque Englais for swimming in Rio Claro. 3 km further VERY cold but refreshing . Be sure to buy tix online and in advance for the Tazas , all else not needed

Beautiful natural para near to Talca and Santiago. Many people comes for cycling and trecking or simply to enjoy the view.

Beautiful place! They are still getting use with the new system of buying tickets online so it took some extra time to get it. People working there were kind and even lend their phone to us. The place in itself is of easy access (the road could be much better - but when you make to the park is good).

The park is beautiful, the waterfalls spectacular. Signage and trail information could be improved, a paper map, for example. The bathrooms were lacking soap and other supplies.

I find it quite hard to rate this place. It's quite beautiful as mentioned by the other reviews. But it's best to buy your tickets in advance online as it's quite hard to do it in place and you cannot buy them there. Also, do not trust the information that is given on the site about the park, it stated that all trails were open but sadly most of them were closed because of floods and landslides. Okay these are extreme circumstances but sadly we wished they told us in advance. If you pass somewhere in the neighbourhood some other tourists, ask them what is going on atm!! We were able to dip in the water (freezing) and see some nice views. Enjoyable in general!

The 7 tazas was the Most disappointing place. no great views, no possibility to swim eventhough it is promoted online. Not worth the entrance! The park itself is very nice, you have different options to hike.

All the information on the Internet about how to get to this park is incorrect! There are no buses from Molina. I bought a ticket for the park, went to Molina early in the morning from Curico and then the locals said there are no buses and I must pay for a taxi to get there. No! You waste my time, energy and money. For the rest of my travels in Chile I will only visit cities because I do not trust the information from locals, lonely planet or the Internet!

Amazing terrain with sweeping views of the mountains. Unfortunately it hadn’t snowed in a while so I stuck to the groomers. Would love to come back for a powder day! Lifts were rickety and slow. The boletería was also very slow and we were misinformed and overcharged for a day pass in certain circumstances. The local pro tip was to buy your passes ahead online to save some time and money. Despite that, what an amazing place to ski!

Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience over there. The information available was very little and chaotic. It seems to me like everything was designed to take as much money as they can from you. We bought the wrong pass, and they didn't have the will to change it or refund it. We just lost our time and money and didn't have the opportunity to enjoy that beautiful mountain.

Good location with horrible operator. Be aware that on top of the lifts themselves being operated by inexperienced personnel, different areas of the resort are also run by different operators. Different parking lots within the mountain are run by different operators and you will have to pay full day parking twice if you have to pick up somebody at another location within the resort. Restaurants are also concessions and the customer service department will not respond if there are any issues, they will just reply “it is your problem for switching parking lots” or “it is not our problem, they are different companies”..etc. Not a place to spend all your money and enjoy a peaceful vacation I must say.

We went here off the skiing season, and it was very beautiful. No tourists, not a lot of people in general. Did some nice hiking and went to a mountain lake. Nothing much happening off season though.

Very majestic area.

Relax. It's beautifull..

(Translated by Google) Quite a crowded place on holidays, with limited parking. It would be great if they'd set up a pedestrian crossing where pedestrians wouldn't occupy the roadway and wouldn't try to park below in the parking spaces where they don't charge. There's no culture or order, and people even block the road without caring about others. (Original) Lugar bastante concurrido en días festivos, poco lugar para estacionar. Seria bastante bueno que habilitaran un paso a pie donde los peatones no ocupen la calzada y no traten de estacionar abajo en los lugares donde mo cobran, no hay cultura y orden que hasta la gente bloquea sin importar a los demas.

I was a student here. Came back to see how it was doing. Glad to see that it is well kept. Still a unique and beautiful university.

If you want to just walk, play sports or enjoy nature and breathe deeply to forget quarantines and confinements, it is a very good alternative 💕🌄💕 just make sure you carry your coffee 😉

Beautiful place always, so different during the summer holidays.

Lovely campus, friendly students, and some good cheap places tp eat nearby.

The best university of the zone

Nice place to do a walking

best spot

For foreign visitors like me, please give this a thumbs up so more people can see this information. I gave it two stars mainly because the service was terrible. My Chilean companion checked the website in Spanish to know the opening hours. However, after traveling all the way from Concepcion by minibus and walking a lot, the ticket office told us they don't open to the public on weekdays (this was Wednesday) and we had to wait until 1 pm to see if the tour group or school group would let us join. We considered waiting, but the ticket was expensive (12,000 or 15,000 CLP, can't remember exactly), and they only accept local Chilean bank transfers—not even cash. Not sure how even local elderly people can buy ticket!The ticket office's attitude really put us off, so we decided to explore the free area and learn a bit about the miners' history and living conditions before leaving. It was a real disappointment because I was looking forward to it. I also understood they have a footwear requirement, and many previous comments mentioned the ride to the mine is mostly a talk about the past in Spanish while wearing a helmet underground. This place has so much potential. Knowing the history of how the Cousiño family exploited the workers (they were paid in coupons to exchange for food, with no labor protection or money) and how the miners' women and children lived in constant fear and poverty is crucial. Even without an English website, they could inform people that public visits are only available on weekends and allow people to book in advance. We gave up waiting until 1:00 pm (or 4:00 pm, which was the next possible slot) and took a shared cab back to Lota city center to visit the park and the museum. The shared cab cost around 560-600 CLP per person—definitely worth it, trust me.

It is a non- working coal mine that is open to the public. We did not take the tour into the mine because you walk down (and up) stairs to the bottom. We walked on top and saw the movie set of a movie called Subterra (Underground in English). All very cool. Es una mina de carbon que ya no funciona como tal. No tomamos el Tour porque hay que bajar y subir muchas escaleras. Arriba está el set de la película Subterra. Todo bien interesante.

Very interesting tour! We loved it!

Well worth a visit, the history was very sobering. the local guides are pretty cool.

Fantastic trip, as the sign at the mine mouth says, "into the guts of the Earth". Our guide Daniel was a miner in this same mine for 20 years (after his father and grandfather and all uncles and brothers), and his knowledge was unmatched. Totally recommended!

Totally worth stopping by, especially if you enjoy history and exploration. They even accommodated are one and a half year old daughter. They take you on a 45 to 60 Minute tour of the underground cave. Understanding Spanish is a must

Guide spoke NO ENGLISH but talked continuously. Consequently we were not only in the dark..but understanding nothing. Nevertheless we did enjoy bumping our heads and helmets, and slithering along thin low passageways. Scary atmosphere !

Salto del Agrio Waterfall – A Hidden Gem in Argentina's Patagonia Salto del Agrio Waterfall, located near the town of Caviahue in the Neuquén Province of Argentina, is one of the most stunning yet lesser-known natural wonders in the Patagonian region. Nestled within a dramatic volcanic landscape and surrounded by the Andes mountains, this powerful waterfall offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and photographers alike. The waterfall itself is approximately 60 meters (197 feet) high and plunges into a circular basalt basin surrounded by colorful volcanic rock formations. What makes Salto del Agrio especially unique is the vivid contrast of colors that appear around the falls. The minerals in the volcanic rock create streaks of red, orange, and yellow on the surrounding cliffs, giving the entire area an almost surreal appearance. This explosion of colors, combined with the emerald green waters of the Agrio River, makes it a truly spectacular sight. Reaching Salto del Agrio is part of the adventure. The waterfall is about 15 km from Caviahue and is accessible via a dirt road that winds through beautiful Andean scenery. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended during wetter seasons due to muddy patches and uneven terrain, although during the dry months, most vehicles can make the trip. The drive itself is a highlight, with panoramic views of the Lonquimay volcano and the high-altitude Patagonian forest. Along the route, one may also encounter araucaria (monkey puzzle) trees, a signature of the region, some of which are hundreds of years old. Once at the waterfall, visitors can walk along several natural trails that provide different viewpoints. The most popular lookout point offers a full frontal view of the waterfall as it crashes into the basalt bowl below. There are also paths that lead closer to the top or allow you to peer into the gorge, although caution is advised due to steep edges and loose rocks. Salto del Agrio is ideal for a short day trip from Caviahue and can easily be combined with other nearby attractions, such as the Copahue hot springs or the Caviahue ski resort during winter. The area remains relatively uncrowded throughout the year, giving visitors a chance to enjoy the majestic beauty in peace and solitude. This waterfall is not just a scenic stop but a testament to the raw and untouched beauty of northern Patagonia. If you’re exploring Neuquén or planning a route through the Andes, Salto del Agrio deserves a prominent spot on your itinerary. It is a place where geological wonder meets natural tranquility, offering a truly immersive and breathtaking experience.

gorgeous reminder how powerful and beautiful nature is. make sure to make a stop if you’re exploring argentine and take a moment to enjoy and listen to the sounds of water and nature

Such majestical place. You can feel the energy Emanating up the falls and lifting your spirits, Up up up like the flights and movements of the condors overhead

Awesome place, just go and enjoy the magnitude of nature. Just be aware of the weather and the road.

Impresive place, totally better then we expected! Recommended for everyone who is staying in the Caviahue.

Spectacular in the morning! Worth the detour.

Absolutely amazing !! Just drove to Caviahue and had THIS not in my plan...

Great tracking adventure for family with kids over 7 years old

Wow, must be here to believe it. Hope to return for longer explorations 🧐

Hermsisimo!!

Bellisimo!

(Translated by Google) You can get to the base calmly and with any vehicle; by 4x4 to the top, but it is still worth doing that small trek... the view is spectacular and you notice the contrast between the valley on the Argentine and Chilean sides, to connect and enjoy a beautiful, very particular view. (Original) Hasta la base puedes llegar con calma y cualquier vehículo; en 4x4 hasta la cima, pero igual vale la pena hacer ese pequeño trekin… la vista es espectacular y notas el contraste entre el valle del lado Argentino y Chileno, para conectar y disfrutar un hermosa vista muy particular.

(Translated by Google) It's truly what I was looking for in a ski resort! It's a family-friendly, non-commercial place where people feel comfortable and enjoy all the activities the mountain offers. I want to highlight the excellent ski instructors; my 8-year-old son learned in three classes. The snowmobile excursion to the Argentina-Chile border is spectacular! The food at the cafe is very good; at least we loved the pizza we ate. And the best of all is the ample space to enjoy the snow however you want, from having a picnic, hiking, sledding, or skiing! Many thanks to the Mapuche community for being so welcoming and allowing us to enjoy these wonderful days at Batea Mahuida! (Original) Es realmente lo que buscaba en un centro de sky!!! Es un lugar familiar y no comercial donde las personas se sienten cómodas y disfrutan de todas las actividades que propone el cerro. Quiero destacar los excelentes profesores de sky, mi hijo de 8 años aprendió en 3 clases. La excursión en moto de nieve al límite de Argentina con Chile es espectacular!!! La comida en la confitería es muy buena, por lo menos la pizza que comimos nos encantó. Y lo mejor de todo es el amplio espacio para disfrutar como quieras de la nieve desde hacer un picnic, caminar, tirarte de un trineo o esquiar!!! Muchas gracias a la comunidad mapuche por ser tan cordiales y hacernos disfrutar de estos maravillosos días en el Batea Mahuida!!!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and incredible views! You'll definitely need a 4x4 to get there! It's the border between Chile and Argentina! (Original) Hermsooooo y vistas increíble! Eso si subir con 4x4! Frontera entre chile y Argentina!

Good weekend trip to explore Patagonia’s volcanoes: Excellent 2 day hike to get up Lanin. Day 1 we went up to the Refugio, slept there. On day 2 we started early and reached the Lanin peak. Hard work but you get fully rewarded - amazing and picturesque view from the peak. The hike to get up to the peak is technically not too difficult, no climbing equipment is needed though I would recommend to have crampons since the last bit is icy. 🌋🇦🇷

Easy hike from the highway to upper small lake in the Chilean sector. Beautiful half day hike on a sunny summer day. Great atmospherics if clouds are blowing over the summit .

I only rode past this volcano as I was on a bus from San Martin to Temuco, but... wow. What a sight on a good day. There were some clouds that hid the top on and off, but this is one part of the absolutely enchanting ride that made it what it is.

Awesome

Absolutely breathtaking!! A place the eye & heart will not forget

Thank you so much

(Translated by Google) An excellent place to visit, with an experienced guide who is knowledgeable about the trails and sites. Stop by the park administration beforehand to register and report your trail access. Highly recommended for connecting with lush nature. (Original) Excelente sitio para visitar, para visitar con guía experimentado y conocimiento de los senderos y sitios de interés. Pasar previamente por administración de parques, para registrarse y dar novedad de tu ingreso a los senderos. Muy recomendable para conectar con una naturaleza exhuberante.

Great lifts and well groomed tracks. Queuing are too messy and unorganized during high season. Leave early unless you want to spend one hour just trying to leave the Parking lot.

Many green tracks are not available due to the lack of snow. Don't recommend it for newbies in 2023.

(Translated by Google) The service was good; if you arrive on time, the service is quick and efficient. The ski slopes are of good quality, offering a great experience for skiers of all levels, but they can get quite crowded, especially at peak times. As for the prices, although the services and facilities are good, they could be a little more affordable, considering the value for money. Overall, it is a good place to ski, but there are some areas for improvement. (Original) O atendimento foi bom; se você chegar no horário certo, o serviço é rápido e eficiente. As pistas de ski são de qualidade, oferecendo uma ótima experiência para esquiadores de todos os níveis, mas podem ficar bastante cheias, especialmente em horários de pico. Quanto aos preços, embora os serviços e a estrutura sejam bons, poderiam ser um pouco mais acessíveis, considerando o custo-benefício. No geral, é um bom lugar para esquiar, mas com alguns pontos a melhorar.

(Translated by Google) Aside from the fact that there was very little snow this 2025 season, they could have provided better service and information to users. We arrived with the intention of skiing for four days; only one was possible due to the lack of snow, but I would have liked to have known about this possibility in advance. (Original) Fuera q esta temporada 2025 hubo muy poca nieve, podrian dar una mejor atencion e informacion al usuario. Llegamos con la intención de esquiar 4 dias, solo se pudo 1 por la falta de nieve pero me hubiera gustado saber esta posibilidad de antemano

(Translated by Google) Terrible service at the office! They only take cash or credit card (they don't offer phone payment options). They don't offer a half-day pass! We went to the mountain for 5 days, and the ranch chair and the stick broke all five days later! (Original) Pésima atención en la oficina! A demás solo cobran efectivo o tarjeta (no te dan opción de pago con teléfono) No tienen pase de medio día!! Fuimos 5 días al cerro y se rompió los 5 días la silla de rancho y el palito !

(Translated by Google) I bought the passes online. They closed the ski resort early (September 1st) without warning, and I couldn't use the pass for a single day. They denied me a refund, and it's also not transferable. I strongly recommend avoiding this ski resort (and the one in Bariloche, since they're owned by the same people). Go to Ushuaia or Chile. (Original) Compré los pases por la web. Cerraron el centro de ski antes de tiempo (1 de septiembre) sin previo aviso y no pude usar ni un día el pase. Me negaron la devolución, tampoco es posible transferir el pase. Les recomiendo fuertemente evitar este centro de ski (y el de bariloche ya que son los mismos dueños). Vayan a ushuaia o chile

(Translated by Google) It's a shame to leave this review, since my family took classes. The instructors' human quality is excellent. The ski resort is incredible. It's a shame about the amount of snow, which is beyond belief. But I don't understand how they can have such poor organization in sales and rentals. They opened the season from one day to the next. Everyone crowded around to exchange tickets and others to buy them, lines two blocks long. Online sales only work with purchases made 72 hours in advance. Could this be expedited? We also rented equipment at the rental office at the base of the hill. Every day there's an endless line. People rush to get to their class or drop their child off at school. And what happens? We stopped taking care of ourselves... no masks 😷 everyone squeezed together to see if I could get in before someone else... they had the whole beginning of the year to get organized. It can't be the same line for the person measuring up and the person checking out... if we take care of ourselves, it should be a shared line... and the key part is organization! Don't worry, it could have been 5 stars! I hope they improve. (Original) Es una lástima dejar esta review, ya que mi flia estuvo tomado clases, la calidad humana de los instructores es excelente, el centro de esquí está increíble lastima la situación de la cantidad de nieve que es ajeno .. pero no entiendo cómo pueden tener tan mala organización en ventas y en rental, abrieron la temporada de un día para el otro.. todos se agolparon a cambiar tickets y otros a comprar, colas de las de 2 cuadras. La venta online funciona con compras posteriores a 72 hs. Se podría agilizar no? También alquilamos equipo en el rental de la base del cerro .. todos los días una cola interminable ,, la gente se apresura porque quiere llegar a su clase o dejar a su Niño en la escuelita.. y qué pasa? Nos dejamos de cuidar.. cero barbijo 😷 todos apretado para ver si puedo entrar antes que otro .. tuvieron toda el comienzo de año para organizarse. No puede ser una misma fila para el que va a medirse equipo y el que va a retirar .. si nos cuidamos que sea entre todos.. y parte primordial es la organización! Tranquílame podría haber sido unas 5 estrellas ! Espero que mejoren .

A must when in the area. You can take guided tour or drive yourself all the way. The second option is more appropriate if you’re a good driver. Beautiful views.

Beautiful drive, many nice viewpoints and lakes to jump in along the way

one of the most beautiful places in the world. you have to see it at least once in your lifetime.

Beautiful drive with loads of adventure! From horses, cows, and sheep temporarily blocking the highway to long winding roads between snowcapped mountains, green valleys, and mirror lakes ... this route had it all. We drove it at the end of winter, but I think it's probably amazing year round. San Martin de Los Andes and Villa Angostura are two essential stops along the route. You can expect it to take all day but there's really no need to leave early unless you really want to savor every view point. You can get to San Martin for a late lunch or early dinner, then head back to Bariloche, assuming that's where you started. Staying the night in any of the three towns is probably easy. I saw a lot of signs showing availability. Driving through the Andes is an incredible experience, and I think this route might be one of the best. Of note, one route was under construction and didn't feel safe to drive. It was Route 65 to Villa Traful. Every other road felt very safe and comfortable.

Below is a summary of the main points: Lago Espejo/Lake Mirror Enrique Wolff, an explorer, visited the lake in 1895 and named it Lake Espejo or Mirror to reflect how amazed he was at a lake that reflects as a mirror Lago Correntoso Chilean immigrants, who were farmers, first arrived here in 1898. They started growing wheat, potatoes, and oat , and raising cows and sheep. Throughout the region, there are numerous farmers with families on both sides of the border. The Argentinian border officers don’t bother them with papers as they use alternative routes. Lago Villarino Named after the Explorer who around 1750 wrote numerous dairies and maps which were critical for the Spanish civilization of Patagonia. Lago Falkner Lago Falkner’s, white sandy beach. Argentinian Explorers initially named this lake Moreno, honoring Perito Moreno. He renamed the lake. Thomas Falkner, in honor of an English Jesuit Explorer. Lago Escondido Escondido, in Spanish means hidden, the lake is truly hidden in a secluded location inside the forest. You will need to jump over to go down and appreciate it’s beauty

Absolutely magical. Take route 40 at least from Bariloche to San Martín De Los Andes. I promise you, you won't regret it. Possibly the most picturesque time is either spring or fall.

This is one of the most beautiful roads I've ever driven. A bit over 100 kilometers, it spans between San Martín de los Andes anda Villa la Angostura, two of my favourite cities in Argentina. You can breathe nature as you drive, cycle or walk through it, with many camping sites and beaches nearby. The water in any of the seven lakes is clean and pure, the trees are green, the sky is blue, what more could you ask for? A must in anyone's bucket list

Súper nice, 👍 wifi included, its free for argentinians who live in San Martin for the rest there's a fee, beautiful place very natural clean and polite people

You have to pay entrance 6500ars and it's just a beach on the lake.

Lovely place. Quiet and calm. Beautiful view from different spot (Lacar Lake).

One of the most beautiful places in the world. Watch the sun set in summer. Amazing

Treeeeemendo lugarrr!!

Sublime!!!!

Lovely. Well worth the gravel road.

Waterfall lookout 3 minutes walking from the road, some slop but easy for all the family due is really close from the parking. Is nice but definitely not a must.

Just stunning. A must to see.

You can either walk 40 minutes from Ruta 40 or a small 5’ walk detour if you go up the road to Cerro Bayo

Bellisimo!!!

Bellisimo !!!

(Translated by Google) Free admission. A beautiful waterfall to visit. It starts with a few steep meters down, which are a bit tricky on the way out. Despite this, it's totally worth it; the waterfall is very beautiful. (Original) Entrada libre y gratuita. Hermosa cascada para ir a visitar. Comienza con unos metros empinados hacia abajo, los cuales son un poco complicados a la salida. A pesar de esto, vale la pena totalmente, muy linda la cascada.

The walk down is a little steep if you have mobility issues it would be hard a nice little stop.

Panoramic Point in Bariloche, the place with major amount of photos made in Patagonia

It’s the natural beauty that is outstanding, not the never ending traffic on the main roads or the noise caused by them. Get away from all that and it is wonderful.

Each season has its own wonder. flowers and birds in spring, silent falling snow in winter with hares and foxes running when you least expect. and I can go on with the hot summer with small waterfalls, never ending nights watching the stars. and at last the autumn with reds covering the forest. its a marvellous place... always, even when the wind blows and the rain falls, and you can do nothing but watch...

Absolutely amazing and gorgeous. We did the trip from Bariloche to San Martin de Los Andes along the 7 lakes route during August (winter time) and enjoyed snowing and amazing sites. Be sure to stop at each lake.

A true adventure to see Cerro Tornador the thunder mountain and glacier. On the road you meet gorgeous lupiin flower fields like being in Alps, a ilsand Corason the Heart shape island and always river is by your side until you reach this and there is an eagle flying. Waterfalls with crystal clear water:) i use this water to my paintings:)

an amazing park, definitely worth visiting. Entrance for foreigners and non-resident Argentines is only $6.50.

We took the ferry and we hiked the boardwalk to the falls (four stations) and the lake at the top of the waterfalls. Beautiful!

This is worth the time to come and visit. You need to be able to walk up a somewhat steep hill and crawl through one section of a cave. We showed up at the last minute for a 3pm tour without a reservation. They were very nice and help us get set up on the tour. They told us there was not an english speaking guide available but we went anyway. We used google translate's transcribe feature and kept up with all the great information. This is more than a cave exploring tour, they tell you a lot about the formation of the landscape, plants and animals from the region. You get a great view of the entire town and a different perspective than other lookouts around town. The parts when you're inside the cave are fun, you'll make use of the required hard hat.

The caverns and the view from the tour are well worth the visit. The first part is a short bus ride up to the beginning of the foot path upward. It is a bit strenuous but Sebastian was a wonderful tour guide and stopped several times for explanations and rest. He described the evolution of the area and the plants and animals of Patagonia. And, although it was Spanish language only, he spoke slowly and with gestures to help the other language speakers understand the gist. The climb through the smallest part of the cavern is optional. (Hard hats and hands and knees) But, a lovely crystal clear pool is inside. And the view at the top of the tour is spectacular.

Highly recommended. Short but great experience for what it's worth. Duration about 2 hours and a half. There are two sessions during the day, one at 11 am and the other at 3 pm. There are 3 caverns or caves which seemed like too simple but it has some stories to hear. Guide is really good and let us to catch our breaths in intervals during our ascent and gave us interesting highlights and amazing views. The tour gets better and better as you go further along the course, be ready to crawl on the last leg for about 6 feet and you'll be rewarded with a nice geological surprise. I was amazed that even an elderly man was able to crawl past it. I don't see any need for hiking boots. You cannot go on your own, it's only possible through paid guides but it's relatively inexpensive. You can go to the meeting point with your own car or request to pick you up at pre-determined hotel points.

Fantastic tour, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and even told us a lot of information in English (though the tour was Spanish). Highly recommended, and the children in our group enjoyed it too.

The guide is amazing & very interesting, the caves are great there is a small lake at the end. requires to bend down to get in ***The guide doesn’t speak English

Beautiful place. Tour guide was very passionate and informative. Tour is in Spanish but still enjoyable if unable to understand. Tour goes for 2 hours

Beautiful place, people should visit 😊

We visited this place on a cold October day as we were needing to get out and enjoy the sites. There were no English speakers that day for the tour, but that didn't stop us from getting our own tour guide and having a blast. We learned what the dinosaur names were in Spanish compared to English. It was pretty fun.

Its a short visit, but the park is in good condition, the dino statues are really nice, service and Guide amazing with kids.

Wonderful experience for my son.

A great place to visit in family. Easy to arrive over Bustillo Avenue (will need a car because it’s a 20 minute drive from down town) It is a 1hour tour, walking into some kind of natural forest, where the guides will explain to the family about dinos ( all except 2 are in 1:1 scale !) The guides are very friendly and they do their work with love and patience for the kids. At the end you can buy some funny pics for about 1500AR. Prices are reasonable. Don’t loose the opportunity to visit this place and learn about Dino’s

Didn’t go in, thought the price was around $3.000 each. At the moment it is $14.000, might be nice. 40 minutes tour

The guide made the whole experience, he was amazing

The parc is not bad, dinosaurs are beautiful and looks real. First bad point : the park is very small, maybe 20-25 dinosaurs. It takes 15 minutes to walk around the park. Second bad point : the first point would be not so bad if the price wouldn’t so high ! We paid 36 000$ ARS for 2 adults and 1 child 5yo. (25/10/2024) Also, the price are not on the website, and they are not displayed at the entrance… so maybe it depends of the head of the customer….

I liked the architecture of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi. Inside, the portals seem to be made of reinforced concrete, although from the outside, the building appears to be made of stone. It was designed by architect Alejandro Bustillo and inaugurated in 1946. The stained glass windows have a style reminiscent of those created by the stone masons of the ancient Templars in the 11th century.

Beautiful historic place. The arquitecture is amazing, the vitrauxs are incredible and the surroundings are breathtaking. Pity we couldn't buy anything at the little shop they have there as they only take cash.

Bariloche’s cathedral is an interesting modern structure built during WWII. Yet it is a classic gothic architecture. The high vaulted ceilings in both the nave and aisles, plus the stained glass windows high up the walls are all very gothic. Indeed, everything about the structural design is a throwback to the Middle Ages. Strangely beautiful indeed 😎😎😎. The interior is quite modern, the idols and images including a painting are unmistakably 20th century designs.

Incredible place to visit. Stunning architecture, including the beautiful glass paintings. A very calming vibe inside.

Rating it a 5 star because of it close location to the beautiful lake and its amazing mountains. The view is exceptional. Also, it has a large front and back yard to relax on a afternoon Finally, it is in the main center of the town. Entrance is free.

According to Google the church was open. I walked around it and tried all the doors but they were locked. I was however, able to take in the neo-gothic characteristics, with clear European architectural influence. Stunning. The Cathedral of San Carlos de Bariloche, “Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi,” is the main Catholic church in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina.

A beautiful large Cathedral in Bariloche that sits right off the water. We were able to explore the inside of the cathedral and just admired all of the stained glass windows, the main altar and side chapels. Worth a trip inside if traveling in Bariloche.

Centro Civico was built by architect Ernesto de Estrada.  Basically, like the main square, every town has one.  The place where large cultural and social events are often held.  Its architecture has European and North American influences, reflecting the surrounding mountains and woods. Walk around and take in the charming stone walls, wooden doors and Lake Nahuel Huapi in the background.  Museo de la Patagonia is located here and this is worth a visit.  I enjoyed walking around the square taking in the atmosphere and scenery.

Pet and family oriented. Clean and well maintained grass.

The heart of Bariloche, the civic center is a public plaza. Constructed in 1940, the cobbled plaza is bounded by stone and log buildings housing the Municipality of Bariloche (the one with the clock tower), the city library, a museum and the city post office. At the center of the plaza is the equestrian statue of General Julio Argentino Roca, military leader and statesman. He served 2 terms as President of Argentina, for a total of 12 years, apparently the longest serving president. The plaza appears to be a center of community and civic activities throughout the year.

Cool civic center with lots to see. Lots of people offering exchange, but you get a fine rate at Western Union.

Fun evening. We stumbled on a great evening in the square. Games, DJ and lots of people. So nice to enjoy the sun.

Amazing downtown, great views , people playing music, dancing, shopping, and people from everywhere. Cool 😎 town to explore

A good place to spend an hour. You can just sit there and enjoy the river and the mountains sites

It's a lot of fun and the Bondiola sandwich was the best. The sledding is fun. However, it is very expensive and the lines are nuts. For a 3 minute ride, you wait about 45-60 minutes.

Wonderful place! You don't need to do anything really, in order to enjoy this place. View is amazing, activities or just playing in the snow. Highly recommend.

Its a great place, perfect for the most adventurous and for kids. Good fun and absolutely stunning.. But prices in the restaurants should be a bit lower

The place is great to enjoy with kids. However if you go during high season get ready to wait up to 40 minutes to access each attraction

Great winter park, especially for kids, offering lower prices than the prices of the Cerro Catedral ski center and having lots of fun riding the speedy "trineos" and ziplines. If it snows there days before your visit, you will enjoy all the tracks with a lot of ice. The only regrets are the expensive prices of food and beverages at the restaurant.

Such a fun, easy, beautiful walk with perfect views of the city

Great fun multiple tracks for sledging. 20,000 pesos for entrance and six lifts up including the small sledges(trineos). Helmets goggles and boots extra if needed. Long queues to get in but mainly caused by people asking lots of questions. Don’t know why as the board beside the entrance tells you all the ticket prices. It was just over £20 each all included. We drove up. The road is a steep dirt track. Plenty of parking at the top but a bit muddy.

Beautiful views across the lago as you walk up to the summit. Only negative is the extortionate‘access charge’ to the cerro complex which is a fixed rate per person regardless. You can’t avoid it if you want to take the cable car back down.

For those trying to drive to Cerro Otto, the road is currently closed at the Piedras Blancas, and you will be denied access. There are some nice views near the parking lot, so still a worthwhile experience.

Worth a gondola ride, nice view over Bariloche and the lake

Beautiful place and walk with friends. Not too challenging and depending how close you can get to it in a vehicle you can do this as a day trek in just a few hours. The views are stunning and it’s one of the best examples of Lenga trees. It’s frustrating that part of the trek goes through “private land” of the Aralauquen estate - how on earth was part of a national park (and a large part at that) sold privately to become a playground for Bariloche’s rich and famous. Disgraceful really and surely there must have been some brown envelopes passed to ensure that this happened. In any case it’s a beautiful landscape and the views over Lago Gutierrez are sublime. Hopefully the whole trek returns to public hands soon.

Great, good price convenient transportation from Bariloche downtown, the restaurant really good and a lot of stuff to do in the top, recommend it

Fantastic mountaintop outdoorsman's dream. This venue has everything to keep a lover of the outdoors busy for many days and repeated trips to take advantage of all of the offerings. Accessible by car on a challenging gravel road to the top of the mountain. Hiking available. Parking is at a premium however! Many trails of various challenge levels. Highly recommended. Fantastic scenery.

The View is Incredible. And you can eat on top with a 360* view because the tower spin around. Really great experience. Food is good. Server kinda slow the place get really busy.

A great spot for a rest and to look around the wood sculptures. There is also a small cafe with outdoor seating.

An okay place overall. The drive up didn’t feel very safe — I imagine it gets quite dangerous when the road is busy with cars going up and down. The hike itself was challenging, and to be honest, I found the natural views along the way more enjoyable than the open-air museum at the top. The host was very friendly, but note that payment is cash-only. I’d recommend visiting only after doing Río Azul first, since it takes about 40 minutes of walking to reach the top.

Worth visiting. If you drive up then it’s only about an hour hike but the statues are well done and the public restrooms have amazing views

Very worth the visit! Valentino one of the guys who works up there is so cool and interesting. The sculptures and view are beautiful.

Amazing place! The carvings were awesome! Loved the challenge of getting there. The kiosk had the best coffee, and love the torta frita done outdoors.

Interesting to see. Not many sculptures, some quite nice though. Not sure it’s worth paying 100ARS to enter though. You can see a few sculptures from the track to the refúgio.

Didn't quite impress me. A bunch of sculptures in the forest. I reccomend to visit it as a stop in trip to el Pilqui. It's about 20 minutes walking from the platforma. If you get there quite early (as in before 10 a.m.) nobody's there and you can access for free (at least on Sundays)

(Translated by Google) beautiful place. very quiet, ideal to spend an afternoon with family or friends. (Original) precioso lugar. muy tranquilo, ideal para pasar una tarde en familia o amigos.

(Translated by Google) It's really a dream!! The 45-minute walk to reach the Blue River where the stone is in the middle is highly recommended. I recommend leaving the car in the parking lot, it costs $300 per car. It is the only place to go to the bathroom, then it is all trail and there is only one campsite but private. The walk from the parking lot to the end takes 45 minutes to an hour. Where it can take a while is on the bridge part because only one person can pass. The road from the center of Bolson to the parking lot is all dirt but in good condition. And the walking trail is suitable for everyone. Excellent place!! 👏🏻 (Original) Es realmente un sueño!! Super recomendable la caminata de 45 min hasta llegar lo que es el Río azul donde esta la piedra en el medio. Recomiendo dejar el auto en el estacionamiento, sale $300 el auto. Es el único lugar para ir al baño, luego es todo sendero y hay un solo camping pero privado. Dura 45 min a una hora la caminata desde el estacionamiento hasta el final. Donde se puede llegar a tardar es en la parte del puente porque solamente puede pasar de una persona. El camino desde el centro del Bolson hasta el estacionamiento es todo de tierra pero en buen estado. Y el sendero para caminar es apto para todos. Excelente lugar!! 👏🏻

(Translated by Google) A paradise, there is a camping restaurant with a swimming pool on the banks of the Atuel River. Changing room bathrooms with shower. If you want to spend the day 250 pesos per person. (Original) Un paraiso hay restorán camping con piscina a orillas del río Atuel. Baños vestuario con ducha. Si querés pasar el día 250 pesos por persona.

(Translated by Google) This place is crazy. They never make you want to leave. There are hills on one side and the river on the other. You can go for a walk, or buy tours at the agency they have inside the complex: rafting, cool river, etc. They also have a grocery store within the complex; sink; camping. Bring repellent because it is next to the river, although there are not mosquitoes, they are other bugs. Luckily, I, an old man, had brought a violet light lamp that electrocutes them. (Original) Una locura este lugar. No dan ganas de irse nunca. Hay cerros de un lado y el río del otro. Se puede salir a caminar, o comprar tours en la agencia que tienen dentro del complejo: rafting, cool river, etc. Además tienen una proveeduría dentro del complejo; pileta; camping. Lleven repelente porque está al lado del río, aunque no son mosquitos los que hay, son otros bichitos. Por suerte, yo cuál anciano había llevado una lampara de luz violeta que los electrocuta.

(Translated by Google) Simply beautiful. We didn't have time to get to the drawer but I will definitely meet him again (Original) Simplemente hermoso. No tuvimos tiempo para llegar al cajón pero sin dudas volveré a conocerlo

(Translated by Google) Beautiful river that flows into Lake Puelo. Ideal for resting and having a massage sitting on its bed when its waters flow. (Original) Hermoso río que desemboca en el Lago Puelo. Ideal para descansar y tomar un masaje sentado en el lecho del mismo cuando corren sus aguas.

(Translated by Google) Excellent!! Various places to enjoy the River. (Original) Excelente!! Lugares varios para disfrutar del Río.

We did not get to ride the train as the season is off, but we had a wonderful girl tour us the entire place. She was great.

This is that actual train station for the town. Which is functional and receives trains from time to time. Also is the starting point for the scenic tourism train La Trochita, which runs from here to a few close destinations for you to enjoy what’s being inside an old train from a lost time. Tickets can be bought here, there is a huge sign outside that shows prices, destinations and operation times (which are limited from very early morning yo midday). The actual train station is renovated and features paintings and lots of information about the history of the place and the old train formations that once ran from here. Must visit!

Beautiful short trip. Ideal to match it with tulips visits. Train is wheelchair accessible and staff are super servicial and friendly!

Worthwhile for the unique experience of riding on a restored piece of history. The guide on board was very informative. You can download audio files in English as well. Wonderful for train enthusiasts. You can purchase tickets from the ticket office at the station or any travel agency in Esquel.

Great trip to the coldest and windiest destination. Worth it if only for the wood burning stove in the carriage to keep us warm.

Interesting even if your not as big a fan of Paul Theroux’s “The Old Patagonian Express” as I am. And by he way, if you’re traveling this part of the world you want to read it, along with Bruce Chatwin’s “In Patagonia”. I stopped here twice, unfortunately both days the train was not running. Next time. The station is on the northwest edge of town, and there is an engine on display on the meridian of Av. Ameghino on the way into town.

The trochita is an amazing highlight here in Esquel. The landscapes that you can see from the train are awesome.

Very interesting place with a lot of history. The owner and tour guide is extremely affable and a bit eccentric. A great place to spend an hour or two and easy to find. Helps to speak Spanish if you want to understand the tour and the history.

Wonderful, just be patient with the ticket seller 🤭

Excellent museum, the owner is really passionate about his Welsh ancestry and is very knowledgeable on the history of the region. Definitely worth the detour.

Super fun and hosted by a very charismatic family, worth the travel

Historical place very well guided.

Exelent

Caroooo

Not a wonderful place but it’s clean and have a wonderful view of the city

Nice park in the median of Gral. Baquedano. Fun sculptures depicting history and culture.

Nice play area for kids

Great history of the region

Kinda nice

(Translated by Google) Interesting place, it is at the beginning of a central square... and along it there are more similar monuments (Original) Interesante lugar, está en el comienzo de una plaza central... y a lo largo de ella hay más monumentos similares

(Translated by Google) Very representative monument of the area, a must-see photo when visiting Coyaique, it is on a walk that also has other statues and legends which is worth the visit. If it should be much better maintained, it needs to renew the paint and other areas of the sculptures as well since some are painted but with splattered floors. (Original) Monumento muy representativo de la zona, foto infaltable al visitar coyaique, esta en un paseo que además tiene otras estatuas y leyendas lo que vale la pena su visita. Si debería estar mucho mejor mantenido, le falta renovar la pintura y a otras zonas de las esculturas también ya que algunas están pintadas pero con el suelo salpicado
