Nestled in the Andes mountains in Argentina's Río Negro Province, Bariloche, or San Carlos de Bariloche, is a town known for its Swiss alpine-style architecture and its delectable chocolate, sold in shops lining the streets of the town's Centro Cívico. Surrounded by glacial lakes and snow-capped mountains, it provides a stunning backdrop for myriad outdoor activities, making it a significant tourist hotspot. As the gateway to Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, the skiing, trekking and mountaineering routes make it an irresistible destination for adventure enthusiasts. The scenic Circuito Chico drive and Nahuel Huapi Lake are among the top natural attractions, while the Centro Cívico and the iconic St. Carlos de Bariloche Cathedral are important historical points of interest. All this, combined with the spectacular alpine scenery and its reputation as Argentina's chocolate capital, makes Bariloche an exquisite, must-visit destination for travellers.

Bariloche

Felt very safe, lots of tourists both Argentinian and foreign. Activities are well sign posted, and there are lots of people on trails. Public transport was easy to use and felt safe too. There were lots of families about too.
