Located on the south bank of Lake Nahuel Huapi, San Carlos de Bariloche is also know as “Swiss Argentina”: wooden chalets by the lake, at the foot of snow-capped mountains where you can ski, Bariloche is also the national centre for chocolate… but the analogy stops there! The mountains, just behind you, are the Andes cordillera, and you are in the capital of Patagonia. Numerous treasures are hiding behind this peaceful town. To be discovered: the Llao Ilao peninsular, the Cerro Lopey, the road of the seven lakes between El Porteyuelo and Villa la Angostura, Victoria Island, Lake Todos los santos and the towns of Puerto Varas or Puerto Mont in Chile. The scenery is varied and changing, and of a unique and captivating beauty.
