Why choose drone photo & video in Bariloche?
Bariloche looks its best from above: the lake broken into arms and islands, forests running down to the shore and the Andes on the horizon. A drone session here is mostly paperwork and geography rather than flying, because the city is wrapped by the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi and governed in the air by two separate authorities. Where the paperwork allows it, an hour of flying covers a whole bay.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Bariloche
Can a drone fly over the city of Bariloche?
Outside the national park, within the open category of ANAC Resolución 550/2025: a drone of 250 g to 25 kg flies within sight of the pilot, below 400 ft (about 122 m) in uncontrolled airspace, never inside an aerodrome control zone and never over people who are not taking part or consenting. Within 5 km of the Bariloche runway threshold in controlled airspace, the limit is 43 m.
Can the drone film our guests at a Bariloche wedding?
Not close up inside the national park. In the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi around Bariloche a drone must stay at least 30 m horizontally and 10 m vertically from anyone outside the crew, so wedding aerials there are wide shots of the venue and the lake rather than passes over the guests.
