Come to Argentina
Tucked in the south coast of the Nahuel Huapi
Lake, just a two hour flight from Buenos Aires, is the
beautiful San Carlos de Bariloche. Visitors are enchanted by
the city's soaring mountains, clear lakes, and beautiful pine
woods, all in the heartland of the National Park of the same
name. With charming Swiss chalet style stone and wooden
architecture, international ski slopes, and renowned chocolate
shops, Bariloche is a place where time seems to have stopped.
With a wide range of options for tourism, both conventional
and adventurous, visitors throng to Bariloche year after year
to breathe in its fresh mountain air and enjoy its truly
everlasting beauty.
During the summer, the adventurous love Bariloche's guided
river rafting, paragliding, kayaking, golfing, and various
other activities, all within the city or in close proximity.
For intense thrill-seekers, mountaineering excursions are a
popular attraction, including repelling, climbing, and biking.
Such unbeatable scenery and unique opportunities make these
activities a truly life-changing experience.
Winter in Bariloche provides excellent opportunities for
skiing, an activity enjoyed from June to September. The main
mountain is Cerro Catedral, only 18 kilometers from the city,
with peaks resembling gothic temples and 53 runs of various
difficulty for skiers of every level. A smaller skiing
destination a few hours away from Bariloche is Cerro Chapelco
in San Martin de los Andes.
If Bariloche's fantastic skiing and adventurous sports aren't

dancing, and shopping. There are several surrounding area
museums, including Don Moises Private Museum and the First
Settlers Museum, and a plethora of great restaurants and
