San Carlos de Bariloche
Bariloche is a mountain town in Patagonia that looks like a village from the Alps, surrounded by clear lakes and pine forests. It is famous for its chocolate shops and its stone-and-wood buildings.
Families love Bariloche for skiing in winter, swimming and kayaking in summer, and eating mountains of delicious chocolate all year. The nearby Nahuel Huapi National Park has some of the most beautiful views in Argentina.
Chocolate
The main street is lined with famous chocolate shops that make everything from fluffy hot cocoa to giant chocolate statues. Every February the town even holds a big chocolate festival.
Lakes and Mountains
You can ride a chairlift up Cerro Campanario for a view that is often called one of the best in the world. Below, deep blue lakes shimmer between green forested hills.
Winter Fun
In winter, nearby Cerro Catedral becomes one of South America's biggest ski areas, with slopes for beginners and experts. You can also try sledding and building snowmen in the fresh powder.
