Cerro Campanario
Beautiful view of the lakes and mountains around—hike it (30 min, departs near the bottom of the lift) or take the ski-lift (AR$8000, ~USD$8). Get in with bus #20, 21, 10 from the center and get off at km 17.8. After the Campanario you can go on with the Circuito Chico during the same day.

Sendero de los Arrayanes
Nice 3 km hike starting close to the Lao Lao golf course. Beautiful views to Lago Moreno.
Drink
Kunstmann
Small brewery with huge windows looking out onto the lake. Beers are mostly lager styles, including a pale lager, a fairly light bodied bock, and a strong beer called Gran Torobayo. They also have an obligatory IPA for those who aren't tired of that over-tired style.

Huemul Project Site
In the early 1950s, an Austrian scientist named Ronald Richter attempted to build the world's first fusion power plant on an island in a lake in the Andes, the undertaking being known as the Huemul Project. A couple of years and an equivalent of several hundred million US dollars later it came into light that Richter never had got any proof of his design actually functioning in the first place. As the patron of the project, President Juan Perón, was ousted in 1955, Richter was arrested for fraud. Today the ruins of the project can be visited on the island, and the city itself remains a center of Argentinian nuclear research.
