Trip to Bariloche and surroundings

Bariloche is really a place designed mainly for tourists. The only monument is the local central square „Centro Civico“ surrounded by beautiful buildings from 1940, which later became a protected national monument. In the middle of the square is a statue of General Roc (former Argentine president), who is obviously not much in love with the original inhabitants of Mapuchova.

The dominant feature of the square is the local town hall with a tower

The city lies on the edge of the huge Nahuel Huapi Lake, after which the national park is named, which surrounds the city from practically all sides. On the shores of the lake you can spend a lot of time watching the weather change over the surrounding mountains

The city center and the lake shore will be a short walk away. But the surrounding trips offer a lot of beautiful and interesting. The biggest classic is the ascent to Cerro Otto (1,405 m above sea level), where you can also take a cable car. The second classic trip is another hill Cerro Catedral (2,405 m above sea level)

Near Bariloche is also the beautiful Limay River around, which is a completely different landscape. You can see it, for example, on the way to Buenos Aires. Otherwise you will need a car
