Bariloche Has It All

4 days, 3 nights · San Carlos de Bariloche

San Carlos de Bariloche, known simply as Bariloche, is a lakeside city in northern Patagonia surrounded by snowy peaks, deep-blue waters and dense forests. On the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi and inside the national park of the same name, it is one of Argentina's most popular year-round destinations. The city has a distinctly alpine feel, with chalet-style stone and wooden buildings and a lively main square full of visitors, street musicians and locals. Bariloche is famous for outdoor activities: in winter (June to September), skiers and snowboarders from all over South America head to Cerro Catedral, one of the largest ski resorts in the region, and the rest of the year the mountains and lakes are a paradise for hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing and climbing. Classic excursions include the Circuito Chico, with viewpoints such as Cerro Campanario, and scenic boat trips to Victoria Island and the Arrayanes Forest. Food is a key part of the experience: the city is famous for the artisan chocolate shops along Mitre Street, Patagonian cuisine such as hearty stews, local trout and the famous spit-roasted Patagonian lamb, and a vibrant craft beer scene. Bariloche is also the ideal starting point for a road trip through Patagonia along the scenic Seven Lakes Route to Villa La Angostura and San Martín de los Andes. With a wide range of accommodation and frequent flights from Buenos Aires, it works for a short stay but offers enough to keep travelers busy for a week or more.
