San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

Why Walk San Carlos de Bariloche

Bariloche sits on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi in the heart of Argentine Patagonia, and its combination of alpine scenery, chocolate shops, and craft breweries creates a uniquely Argentine mountain town experience. The Centro Civico, a handsome stone-and-timber civic center, overlooks the lake and provides a starting point for walks along the waterfront and into the surrounding hills. Calle Mitre is the main commercial street, lined with chocolate shops (chocolaterias) where artisan chocolate is a serious tradition. The Circuito Chico, a 60-kilometer scenic loop, passes through forests, lakes, and viewpoints that can be walked in sections. Cerro Campanario offers a chair lift to what National Geographic once called one of the best views in the world. The Llao Llao peninsula, with its famous hotel and nature trails through ancient arrayanes (myrtle) forests, is one of the most beautiful lakeside walks in South America.
