Circuito Chico
al2401 Says:
This delightful drive takes you along the shore of Lago Nahuel Huapi in the direction of Puerto Panuelos. By taking a turn to the left the road follows the shore of Lago Perito Moreno. There are a number of great view points along the way. The best view is of both lakes with...
Lago Nahuel Huapi
al2401 Says:
Bariloche is one end of the famous Lake Crossing from Argentina to Chile. The first leg of the crossing, over Lago Nahuel Huapi, is very popular as a day trip. Every 20 minutes a bus from Bariloche will take you along the shore of the lake to Puerto Pañuelos. The ferry...
South of Bariloche
TheWanderingCamel Says:
A great whole day excursion offered by all the local travel agents takes you south through beautiful country to Cerro Tronador. Given the narrow, rough roads of much of the route, taking a tour and letting someone else take the strain of driving isn't a bad idea. The first...
Forest trails
TheWanderingCamel Says:
A visit to Isla Victoria (a 30 minute cruise across Lake Nahuel Huapi from the quaintly named Puerto Panuelo - Handkerchief Port - on the Llao Llao Peninsula) with a very knowledgeable National Parks guide followed by time to explore the island at leisure is just the first...
Quite a mouthful
TheWanderingCamel Says:
San Carlos de Bariloche takes its name from a Mapuche Indian word, Vuriloche, meaning "people from the other side" ( a reference to crossing from Chile)and from Carlos Wiederhol, a German from Chile who opened a small store here in 1895. He'd be surprised if he came back...
Museo de la Patagonia
TheWanderingCamel Says:
Bariloche's museum, housed in one of the buildings of the Cento Civico, is well worth an hour or so of your time. From the momont you begin to climb the massive, if somewhat creaky, wooden staircase, you get the feeling you are in some 19th century scholar and collector's...
Day Trip on the Lake
Marley96 Says:
You can also take a day trip on Nahuel Huapi to Isla Victoria and then Bosque de Arrayanes. Leaves from Puerto Panuelo and takes most of the day. It's not the bus-boat combo across to Chile, but it's a very nice day trip. You buy the tickets in Bariloche at one of two travel...
Llao Llao Peninsula
spidermiss Says:
I spent half a day exploring the Llao Llao Peninsula which can be reached by a local bus from Bariloche. The Peninsula is famous for the luxury Llao Llao hotel that was originally built in 1939 by Alejandro Bustillo and only to have been destroyed by a fire the following...
Cerro Catedral

Cerro Catedral is 21 km from Bariloche. During the winter, it's one of Argentina's important ski centres but during the summer, you can able to go hiking, biking or take chairlifts up to one of its summits for the views. I paid 75 ARP (February 2011) for a return journey up...

Abuela Goye: A perfect place for Chocoholics!

This is my favourite chocolate shop and cafe in Bariloche. I love their Abuela Goye special hot chocolates and their hot chocolates with cognac! The quality of chocolate is amazing and enjoyed sampling some of it whilst in town. As well as hot chocolate and chocolate, they...
Boliches
lucasfashion83 Says:
Por ser un destino elegido por la mayoría de los chicos para sus viajes de egresados, para la gente que hace un tiempo que pasó por esa etapa, puede parecer una guardería en algunos lugares y momentos.Los clubes están muy buenos, pero a veces, influenciados por el estilo de...

Internet or Travel Agent?
TheWanderingCamel Says:
Searching fares and booking via the internet is common practice these days and there are some great deals to be had; however, there are no such deals available for domestic fares in Argentina, and given the level of disorganization and misinformation you are likely to...
