Day 104 : Cerro Camponario

I was invited to join Augustina and a French couple (Orianne & Aurelian), who arrived into Bariloche earlier today, to trek up to Cerro CamponarioCerro Camponario is a famed attraction in Bariloche where one can get one of the best panoramic views in the world. 

Although the trek up took only about 40 minutes, it was not easy as the climb was rather steep and left the French couple and I panting.  But the climb was all worth it. 

The views were completely magnificent!  A total 360 degrees view could be seen of the mountains and the numerous lakes around the area, which left us all captivated!  And I truly have to agree that this is one of the best panoramic view of mountains and lakes I have seen!

Pictures doesn’t quite do it justice, especially when we had the sun at an angle which compromised our photo taking.

Enjoying MateWe sat down to just soak in the view while enjoying mate (pronounced “ma-te”), before walking around the viewing platform.

We stayed there for about 1.5hours before heading down (which was a breeze!) and walked towards one of the nearby lake to catch the sunset. 

The moment we walked in, we were breath taken! 

The water was clear and still, and you could see the reflection of the mountains in the water.

It was truly beautiful, as we watched the sun set before calling it a day.
