Bariloche & The Lake District Trips & Tours

An alpine town with epic scenery, lakes that stretch to the horizon and chocolate to rival the Swiss
The charming mountain town of Bariloche is most famous for its breath-taking scenery, and quite rightly so. The so-called 'South American Switzerland' is ringed by enormous azure lakes, snow-kissed mountains, and the gorgeous Nahuel Huapi National Park, home to two million acres of nature in its most raw form. A paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, there are countless opportunities for hiking, trekking, camping and biking. But if you’re not the adventure type, worry not: it’s equally heavenly for just settling back and relaxing. Hop on a cable car to the summit of Cerro Campanario for 360-degree views, or drive the scenic Seven Lakes Route for Insta-worthy vistas. And the cherry on top? Bariloche happens to be Argentina’s chocolate capital - don’t leave without stopping by Mamuschka downtown. You can thank us later.

Things to do

What to do in Bariloche

The technical and much tamer start to Argentinian Patagonia, Bariloche is a picturesque town beside one of the many mirror-like lakes that cover the two million-acre park. After sampling the country's finest chocolate, set off on a scenic driving route, or get comfortable at your hotel before hiking, biking and horseback riding to some of the scattered ethereal viewpoints. If you're visiting in the winter, pack your snow gear for spot of skiing above the clouds.

Bariloche can be enjoyed in all seasons. Winter? Skiing time! The sun's shining? Pick one of the lakes and take to the water. Not warm enough for a swim? Go hiking, kayaking or horseback riding. And all day, every day: soak up those views.
Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

If you’re all trekked out, head to one of the nearby mountain towns for a little respite. Villa La Angostura and San Martin de los Andes to the north, or the hippy enclave of El Bolson to the south make for great day trips from Bariloche.
