About Bariloche

Bariloche is an alpine-style resort on Lake Nahuel Huapi in Argentine Patagonia, with ski slopes, chocolate shops and forests below the Andes.

San Carlos de Bariloche stands on the southern shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi, in a glacial valley with the Andes rising behind it. The civic centre, built of stone and dark timber in the 1930s, gives the town its alpine look, and the Museo de la Patagonia is housed inside it. Nahuel Huapi National Park, the oldest in Argentina, surrounds the town with lakes, beech forest and rocky peaks.
