The town of Bariloche is, without doubt, one of the most attractive towns in Patagonia. Located in the Lake District of Argentina, and at the start of the Lake Crossing to Chile it is also located in a scenically beautiful region. From the moment you enter the town through the Germanic inspired ‘gate’ you will be aware of the uniqueness of Bariloche. First settled by German pioneers who entered the region from Chile during the 19thC, the town retains the architecture and atmosphere of past times.

Includes: Airport transfers, flight, local taxes, 4 nights accommodation with breakfast, guided tour on day 1.
