Regardless whether you take the teleferico or walk (approx. 30-40 min.) to the top Cerro San Bernardo is well worth a visit. The views of Salta with the mountains as a backdrop are beautiful and the tranquility of the place makes it a nice place to enjoy your time.

We took the teleferico up the hill, and thoroughly enjoyed the views over the city and the peaceful gardens at the top. The views were good on the way up, and even better when we reached the top. We were fortunate with the weather, which makes a big difference at a place with panoramas like this. We particularly enjoyed sitting... More

The gondola ride is now 45 pesos per person return. If you have a few hours in and a sunny afternoon the view is worth the ride. The park at the summit is very nice and the trees provide plenty of cover from the sun as you stroll along the paths. A bit of a breeze and several beautiful views... More

A 15 minute walk from the city centre, you can get to the top using the cable car, by car or just walking (or any combination you choose). I used the cable car the first time, it was a short and fun ride, with magnificent views. Lines can be long sometimes. At the top there's a small restaurant which is... More

Great views, nice gardens, beautifull fall. Cleanness might be improved, staff is OK. Also the surroundings are very nice and in the base there is a park with includes a lake with activities, is a must in salta

Though the easiest method to reach the top is via cable car, we decided to save the money and take the stairs. Though Salta isn´t the highest city, I did feel a little short of breath from the altitude, but even with frequent breaks at convenient benches we made it to the top in 40 minutes. We were climbing through... More

We decided to hike to the top of Cerro San Bernardo and then back down. Otherwise the gondola ride is $20 per person, each way. The views are great and the park itself is really pretty. The water features weren't working when we were there and the vegetation was a little dry, but the flowers in the park were beautiful.... More

Apart from the cold winds of July, the view of sunset over the city of Salta, is really amazing. Its worth the cable car ride ( because of the long lines at this time of the year).
