Where
Buenos Aires takes the cake as the hustle and bustle capital
of Argentina, San Carlos de Bariloche (now known simply
as Bariloche) is the centre of outdoor activity, recreation
and nature-loving fun. Set amongst the beautiful lakes of
the south and Nahuel Huapi National Park, Bariloche is a
dream come true for any sport enthusiast or lover of beauty.
Sited as the 'gateway to the Andes' and the 'centre of Argentina's
Lake District' Bariloche is perhaps the best located city
in all of the country.
If you've ever been to any European ski resort you will
find Bariloche strikingly familiar. In recent years the
quest for sustainable tourism development has failed with
the over development of accommodation facilities and it
has become a bustling centre for the winter skiers and hikers
in the summer. If you don't mind the crowds you will find
endless activities to keep you sweatin' for weeks. Skiing
and hiking aside, Bariloche also offers optimum conditions
for superb fishing, cycling, horseback riding and white
water rafting.
