La paco es uno de los recorridos más transitados por los ciclistas tanto locales como los que visitan Bariloche. Es uno recorrido exclusivo para bicis dentro del parque nacional y conecta el cerro catedral con el Lago Gutierrez con la posibilidad de aprovechar para combinar bici y lago.
Su recorrido es bastante flow y alterna lugares más planos con algunas partes más tecnicas en el sector inferior que pueden ser dificiles cuando esta muy seco el terreno.
Sin duda es una de las que si o si tenes que hacer en Bariloche
