This is a wonderful park after a great ride up. Wonderful scenery with friendly people. Some small stores, a small restaurant (sandwiches and the like). Highly recommend! Remember to take sun screen! The gondola ride is enchanting!

We walked up the path to the top and enjoyed it very much. Lots of birds and even a snake to see on the way, good excuse to stop and take a break. The views from the top are excellent, nice place to enjoy a drink and sit back. Also a few stands offering local craft. Well worth it!

We walked up and down the steps- it only took about half an hour to get up and it was sheltered from the sun by trees. Incredible views when you get to the top - well worth it!

Great Views, a nice walk down and around.
A few shops and the bars and restaurant would've been nice to try but it was under renovation.
Try to go when it is clear, this can be difficult in Salta so don't wait for Sunset.

On a sunny day it may be worth it, if you want a view of the city and surrounds. The skyline of Salta is underwhelming really. At the top you can see the mountains and valleys, but if you want a great way to see the area, go on a tour to the outer regions, such as Salinas Grandes, Cachi or National Cardones Parque. The ticket price both ways (up/down) cost us 400 pesos for adults, 10 USD. Seniors rate; 230 pesos, 6 USD. You can purchase just a one-way trip. The windows of the cars were dirty and worn, there is windows in the doors that were open to see clearly out of. At the top, there is a cafe/wine wagon, bathrooms and other lookouts. Most of the lookouts though had trees obscuring the views.

We walked up Cerro San Bernardo from our hostel in El Centro de Salta. It took us about 40 minutes to tackle the stairs, but it is well worth the incline for the views at the top of the mountain of Salta. Most of the hike is in the shade too, which I liked because the sun is strong and the humidity is high during February. We topped off our walk with a coffee from the local cafeteria and caught the cable cart back down the mountain (200 pesos one way), which provided some spectacular views as well.

A very green 30 minute trek to the top was well worth it for a lovely view of the city. Up the top you'll find a remnants of a free outdoor gym and a little amphitheatre where you can sit and enjoy an ice cream purchased at one of the nearby stalls

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 of the valley and the city from lots of different angles. The waterfall is actually nicely done ... trees, flowers and little nooks to sit and just enjoy the view. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly quiet. Easy enough to find; it's about a 30-minute walk to the Ticket Office from the Plaza 9 de Julio - follow the Parque San Martin all the way and you'll see it on your left as you get closer to the hill. Bring your sunscreen. You can get a drink at the small Cafe and there are some vendors selling crafts, blankets, purses, hats, etc.

Cuanto se demora para bajar caminando el cerro? Es seguro para bajar de esa forma?
Written 27 July 2019
Hola. Es seguro bajar por los escalones si vas antes del anochecer, otra cosa importante... tenes que tener un buen estado fisico, nosotros bajamos con mi esposo y estuve 4 dias con terrible dolor de piernas, son muuuuchos escalones. Saludos.

Hola! Alguien me podría informar en donde me asesoro sobre los horarios, costos y demás del teleférico? Gracias!
Written 27 March 2019
Puedes entrar a la página del Teleferico San Bernardo (español e inglés) o a la dirección de turismo de Salta. Abierto de lunes a domingo de 9:00 a 18:30 horas. Precio mayores $ 400.- (subida y bajada) o $ 200 subir e igual monto por bajar. Otra opción (si es un lindo día) es subir en el teleférico y bajar a pie por el camino de acceso (cornisa pavimentado) o por las escalinatas.

Hola. Se puede acceder al cerro de noche, en auto propio? Es recomendable? Es facil la subida?
Written 26 April 2018
Hola Nora, el precio del teleférico es $ 100 ascenso y $ 100 descenso. Te aconsejo, como.explayaron con antelación, subir en el teleférico y bajar por las escaleras hasta el monumento a Güemes. No hay buses hasta la.cima del.cerro. Solo son las combis - minibuses que realizan el.city tour.También podes subir en taxi pero es mas costoso.
Espero que aclare tu interrogante.
Saludos desde Salta,
Juan

Hola, me gustaría tener vista nocturna, pero según la web del teleférico funciona hasta las 18.30 hs. Se puede subir en otros horarios? qué me recomiendan? Gracias
Written 22 February 2018
Hola, el teleferico funciona hasta las 18,30, pero al cerro podes subir en vehiculo por un camino totalmente asfaltado e iluminado o bien caminando por las escaleras del via crucis que tambienn esta iluminado (menos recomendable) lo que si, la vista nocturna de Salta es algo espectacular e inolvidable

Es seguro bajar las escaleras de tarde/noche?
Written 26 March 2015
Hola Camilo, yo subí por las escaleras a eso de las 16hs. en pleno verano y con mucho calor. Descendí por la ruta cuando empezó a oscurecer. En ese tramo no tuve ningún problema ni miedo alguno; y tiene una muy buena vista de Salta que pocos suelen ver. Suben y bajan permanentemente autos. Cuando llegás finalmente abajo, estás a pasos de la terminal de ómnibus
