Cerro Villegas - Full Day Hike in the Patagonian Steppe

In the outskirts of Bariloche city, after a bit over an hour drive to the East, we find Carmen de Villegas Mountain, surrounded by the Patagonian Steppe. With the Limay river on its base, we'll start our hike alternating between hills and plateaus. Get ready to contemplate the inmensity from this views: both the city and the mountain range behind it, as well as the Nahuel Huapi Lake and the steppary flat lands in opposition to the forest. Definitely an interesting place for admiring the contrast of landscapes in the region and to take amazing photos... maybe even of Condors flying around us! This is a medium difficulty hike where we'll be covering a total distance of 12 km with an elevation gain of 600 mts. Depending on the pace, the average time hiking could go from 5 to 7 hours. Please note that there are not refilling water sources on the trail so be sure to bring enough.
