The beauty of Bariloche....
Not the town, which, hotels and restaurants aside, doesn't have a lot to offer beyond a long street seemingly lined with chocolate makers, knitwear emporiums and icecreameries; a small museum and a tall-steepled, grey-stone cathedral. The true glory of Bariloche lies in its wonderful location. The town is set down beside Lake Nahuel Huapi, the largest of the lakes of Northern Patagonia, and ringed by the mountains that make this a mecca for skiiers and trekkers at different times of the year - the centre of a region of absolutely stunning natural beauty.
The long-time favourite of holidaying Argentinians, and now a firmly-established destination on the incoming-tourist trail, I'm sure there must be times when the crowds outweigh the pleasure ... but this was not the case for us. Early November is just the beginning of the summer season so nowhere was crowded and there were places we went that we could call all our own entirely. Each day took us into a world where Nature reigned supreme - days of relaxed excursions over and around the lake to deep enchanted forests, panoramic viewpoints, an eerie landscape of black ice ....
I've no doubt there are bars and nightspots aplenty in the town, but you'll have to look elsewhere to find word of those. All that sunshine and fresh air found us dining fairly early with a bottle of good Argentinian red, sampling some of the aforementioned icecream, and falling asleep as our heads hit the pillow. By the time we got to the airport to take our next flight we were so relaxed we took a cancelled flight and a six hour delay in our stride!

One of the most beautiful places on earth! I loved walking out onto my balcony and seeing the sun coming up over the lake, it was magnificent!
Seems you did a whole lot in Argentina and had a great time:)
Stunning is the word for the scenery. Fabulous hotel accomodation... loved the little church.
Another well written Argentinian page. Bravo. SL :)
Beautiful scenery, excellent photography. You are right we need to visit more of Argentina.
Loved this area too and was amazed at how Swiss it looked. Great info/pics on this beautiful area, Leyle.
Great page Leyle, your photos are fantastic. I think we'll spend a long time in this area. I'll remember to avoid the Weiss restaurant!
Gorgeous territory. This is a part of Argentina I've always wanted to visit. That Llao Llao hotel sounds fabulous. Can't believe it was closed for so many years. GREAT page, terrific information. Well-written and entertaining. :)
As you say the scenery is absolutely gorgeous!! It is hard to go wrong with blue skies, snow-capped peaks and lakes! Your tours sounded fantastic and makes me want to visit Argentina again. Glad that Ripio Turismo was of such help too!
Wow! wonderful page, fantastic photos and very helpful and useful information, great detail! This sounds like a wonderful place to visit, thank you for sharing with us! :o)
another classic leyle page! while seeing the photos in real life in your albums is a treat, the chance to read such beautiful words online is also nice. i love your descriptions on this magic place!
