Cabanas La Del Bosque San Carlos de Bariloche

... our bikes more than we rode them, way too hilly but seen some great views and stopped at a tea room and had a cup of tea and some scones. Finished the ride in 4 and a half hours and got off my bike with a bruised ass because the seat was so hard.

At the hostel that night was an evil clown party and a few people got ...

... board. The city centre is full of chocolate shops, every second shop is a chocolate shop, Willy Wonka heaven... We really spoiled ...

... you found yourself studying the road ahead, watching for potholes and local fauna and trying to predict the driver's route...and when the vehicle was really thrown around...asking yourself the question: would I have managed to avoid that pothole? The road trip would not have been half as exciting had it not been for the tough roads. The Patagonian scenery throughout was spectacular as we drove by lakes, river, mountains, glaciers, forests (dead and alive) and small ...

... no sign.. i returned to the bus stop right at bus time to see the girls with justin ! relieve! they had taken a wrong turn and taken almost 3 hours to get down!!! well, at least they were safe! phew... the next day, we rented this junky four door fiat and drove to Cerro Tronador... what an incredible area.. not too many people, incredibly green lakes, crystal clear waters, black glaciers, waterfalls and stunning forests... the park ...

We zijn niet in de zwitserse commune geweest, maar we vermoeden dat iedereen zich daar een beeld bij kan vormen.

We are looking forward to the restful part of the vacation! Bariloche! So, here we are at the Bariloche airport! Anna from Wild Patagonia meets us as we leave baggage claim. I have corresponded with Anna for months now, planning this Lake ...

... bit more" ended up being close to an hour, so when we did find the motorway, there was an overwhelming sense of relief in the car. What the rest of them didn´t know was that I was now wrecked from the drive and I had a serious lack of concentration when coming off a junction and started driving on the wrong side of the road and in the wrong direction too! When this was brought to my attention, I tried to stop and turn around, however, what I ...

Well, we could have built a snowman if there was more snow. San Carlos de Bariloche is a winter wonderland kind of gig and all we could really see to do apart from trekking into the gorgeous snow-dusted mountains is to eat chocolate and drink Argentine wine. The skiing is not happening at the moment. Of course the restaurant we wanted to try from our old Lonely Planet ...

If you ask someone for a list of places that you should visit on a trip to Argentina I guarentee that Bariloche will be on that list. Located 22hrs drive south of BA, Bariloche is in the Lake District and its setting is pretty spectacular. In the winter is is the largest ski resort in South America and like in the alps in ...

... is renound for its chocolate and ice cream. Theres a smell of melting chocolate all over the town. Most of the buildings around the main streets are wooden and very cute and they have them all decked out in the Christmas gear and on the main square there are cute little St. Bernard dogs.
