Bariloche

Set on the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake against a backdrop of jagged, snow dusted peaks, San Carlos de Bariloche is the beating heart of Argentina's Lake District, a landscape so reminiscent of the Alps that its early European settlers built the town in Swiss and Bavarian style, complete with chocolate shops that remain a local institution to this day. Whether arriving for winter skiing on the slopes of Cerro Catedral or summer days spent boating, walking and cycling, Bariloche rewards visitors with a rare combination of mountain drama and lakeside charm, all wrapped in a warm, cosy alpine atmosphere found nowhere else in Argentina.

The surrounding scenery only grows more spectacular the further you venture. The Circuito Chico winds past a string of turquoise lakes and dense forest to Cerro Campanario, where a short chairlift ride delivers one of Patagonia's most celebrated panoramas, a sweeping vista over lakes, forests and mountains that seems to stretch to the horizon. A boat trip across Nahuel Huapi leads to Victoria Island and the enchanting Arrayanes Forest, home to rare cinnamon barked myrtle trees found almost nowhere else on the planet, and said to have inspired Walt Disney's Bambi. Nearby, the storybook Llao Llao Hotel sits amid rolling greens between two lakes, the perfect vantage point to soak in the beauty of a region where every turn in the road reveals another breathtaking view.
