Cerro Otto, Patagonia, Argentina

4.0 (6.793 reviews) Spent Ranking #26 in Patagonia Mountains • Lookouts

Wonderful way to spend a few hours!

We really enjoyed taking the gondola up to the top of the mountain- it is further than it looks from below! The views from the top are spectacular and there are hiking trails for those who want to explore further, which we did and enjoyed. But the best thing is the 360 degree revolving restaurant that very slowly revolves as you sit at your table so that you can enjoy the views in all directions. We've never seen anything like that! We recommend getting there by 9:30 and you'll be able to walk right in with no lines and the wind is calmer in the morning.

    Lovely views of the lake and surrounding area
    We took the cable car up to the top of Cerro Otto. It was too windy to hike farther up, and in fact by the time we wanted to come down they had closed the cable car due to wind. That caused some confusion as it turned out we were supposed to get our names on a list to get on a bus. In the end we had to wait a couple of hours, so we had lunch in the revolving restaurant. The food was good and the service excellent. So we had a good time there.

    Nice resto on top
    You can go up walking, by car or gondola. I don't know if there are other trails up but I saw people walking on the road which isn't a nice walk at all. The gondola costs 900 pesos and includes the entrance to the complex on the top. If it's windy they stop the gondola. If you go by car there is a small parking lot at the entrance. Only the entrance costs 600 pesos (making the gondola 300 pesos). I don't think it's worth walking up because you have to pay the entrance fee anyway to access the view points and the rotating restaurant. The restaurant is lovely, not very expensive. We had some craft beer and some lovely local cheese and cold cuts.
