A very interesting place to which we are heading our walking tour is El Cerro San Bernardo. After Santeria we continue our way along Urquiza street for about four blocks to Lavalle street where we turn right to take San Martín Avenue where 30 meters away is the entrance area to the cable cars that take you to the top.
Cerro San Bernardo is one of the main attractions because it allows you to see the whole environment that surrounds the city, it is very easy to access. In the top at 1471.92 meters above sea level there is a viewpoint which can be reached by a path signposted from the arrival area of the cable cars. In addition to the viewpoint there are several attractions, among which a walk of artificial waterfalls arranged on different terraces stands out. On the hill there is also a small restaurant, where those who want to stop to eat or have a drink can do so, there is also a play area for the little ones and an ecological path of about 5 kilometers, everything is very well marked with their respective signs. .
Some data to take into account about this cable car is that covers an oblique distance of 1046 meters and the route takes about 8 minutes. It has 20 gondolas that can transport about 300 people per hour.
Once you finish your ride on the hill and return to the base, you can visit the monument of Miguel de Güemes mounted on his horse, this is made of bronze and is surrounded by steps and a pedestal that were built with stones from neighboring hills. Beyond the monument, the beauty of approaching it is the neighborhood of tree-lined streets and imposing houses that surround it.
The monument is located a few meters from the Cable car ascent area, next to the entrance road to make the ascent by car, bicycle or on foot to the top of the hill (10 kilometers).
