Bariloche
Río Negro Province
- Argentina
Patagonia "for export" (Automatic translation, under review)
San Carlos de Bariloche is a city that if finds the 1650 km of Buenos Aires, in full Argentine Patagônia and to the feet of the Mountain range of Andes.
Traditionally, Bariloche is of the degree as meca students that if they form (of approximately 18 years of age), which normally invades all the city. However, since the depreciation of the occured Argentine currency in January of 2002, what it is observed is an enormous amount of foreign tourists, mainly deriving of Brazil. In many commerce, the storekeepers speak (or at least they try to speak) Portuguese and also found the fact curious to find many plates in this language. This brought me to the memory the beach of Canasvieiras in Florianópolis, only that in contrast, because there what they exist they are plates in Spaniard in all I sing.
The transfer was made in bus, because to go of airplane already it was everything depleted for the date of my trip. A curious fact in relation to the aviation companies is that the Argentine tourists can fly with a preferential tariff, but will be foreign (same in the case of a country with currency almost so devaluated how much of Argentina, as it is the case of Brazil) the ticket costs the double. At least these were the conditions when I consulted.
The bus trip was very good. I recommend to go for the company By Bariloche, because besides having good vehicles, them they plan the course of the trip so that the 18 hours of road do not seem so long. The service includes snack, has supper, coffee of the morning and the projection of three films, what it became the sufficiently bearable trip.
When still it was in Buenos Aires, I contracted the location of an car. I did not have doubt of that mainly this was the adjusted decision more, seeing that it rained when we arrive in Bariloche. The prices are really very low and an car always offers to greater action freedom. To direct in the snow was one of my fears, but in the truth bigger inconveniences do not exist. It only needs exactly to have care not to carry through brusque maneuvers.
It would hosteria it where we are lodged is very recommendable: it has an impressive sight, cômodos ample and until a small kitchen inclusa. Also it has a swimming pool that it occupies a part of inside and a part of is of the hotel, being that to pass of a side for the other she is necessary to swim under the separation glass.
Bariloche in the winter is an extremely cold city for my taste and for more clothes that I have used, always I was with a little of cold. Therefore, my advice is to take much same clothes and he will be thermal, better.
Despite the cold, the nature of the place is impactante. Each photo is a postal card of a indescritível beauty.
Activities:
Catedral Hill
As it had never skied, this was the chance to have my first experience.
Most common it is to rent the suit adjusted in the center of the city, since he is cheaper of the one than in the Cerro and the variety of store is bigger. To rent the ski equipment, I recommend the store of the proper Cerro, not to have that to take everything in the car.
I decided to go to the Cerro Cathedral to try the luck, one day after a great snowstorm. The place is pretty and possesss an enviable infrastructure, but still he is very expensive for the pocket of an Argentine although I to have IDO in "intermediate" season. I made two hours of lesson of ski with an instructor and, pra to say the truth, had finished being sufficiently useful. They had served so that I could pass the afternoon all practising e, inevitably, twirling slope below for the snow.
As they had commented me, to start to enjoy fully of the ski she is necessary to practise at least 4 or 5 times. I consider that in general the experience was positive, although that I am same an animal of sun and beach.
Pretty Playa
The hotel where I took up quarters if finds in Pretty Playa. It is really a place that valley the penalty to know for its natural beauty.
Chico Circuit
It is an interesting stroll. The landscapes are belísimas, but she is necessary if to agasalhar very and, because in the few times that I went down of the car to see the lake made very cold.
In the passage also it gives to not only sight the Hotel Llao Llao, one five stars impressive for its construction but also for being framed for the Mountain range.
Civic center
The civic center is the heart of Bariloche and one of the typical postal cards. It is a very pretty place, that happily does not arrive to be opacado by the tribes of students who ramble there for close.
It has a monument in recognition to General Argentine Julio Roca and, by the way, I listened to tourist guides of the place making negative commentaries on Roca and mentioning it to it as "an assassin", for having conquered extensive aboriginal territories in the south of Argentina. The dullness human being really does not have limits. It is incredible that still if it questions one of the biggest politicians of Argentina, responsible in great measure for having brought modernity and development to the country in the end of century XIX.
This is an example clearly of a people ignorant and detached from the reality, that it prefers to attack its citizens valuable and to enaltecer the ones who are not. It seems that the attacks of the indians and all the people they had assassinated in the south of the province of Buenos Aires had never existed and that Roca was to kill indians for diversion and does not stop freeing and assuring domestic territory.
In the soil of the same square "white spots" exist (typical handkerchiefs of the Mothers of the Square of May), what besides being ugly, it is it are of the place. The similar organizations to the terrorism would have to use the traditional canals to make politics without if appropriating nor damaging public spaces as in this case.
To some you square of the civic center has a great fair of artesanato. Personally, the things that vendem in these fairs are not very of my affability, but case you likes artesanato...
Cerro Leones
This is a very particular place, is of the traditional circuit. It is a set of caves where old the deriving indians tehuelches of the region went to protect themselves. To all 3 caves are, being necessary to pay previously for the stroll. During the excursion, we are folloied by a guide who goes counting histories on the indians and showing some tenuous rupestres paintings.
Most interesting it is that in the end of the last cave a narrow ticket exists (if you will have claustrofobia is better nor to try to pass) that it leads to a cave in the interior of the mountain, where also exists a lake.
The stroll is not nothing spectacular, is a little scarce, but at least it allows to pass the afternoon.
It observes in one of the photos as it gives to see a profile person, effect generated for the erosion of the wind in the rock.
Villa La Angostura
This city if finds the 70 km of Bariloche.
The trip in itself already really justifies the stroll. To direct to the side of the lake Nahuel Huapi is a indescritível pleasure e, exactly that you it does not have nothing to make in Villa La Angostura, recommends to only go for the landscape.
As I was only one afternoon in the city, it did not give to know very. In the truth, it is a sufficiently colorful mountain village. One of the places with an imponent sight of the Mountain range of Andes is the pier of the city.
In the entrance of Villa La Angostura resort is one called Puerto Manzano, that very seems to be pretty, and also exists a center of called ski Cerro Bayo.
Where to eat: One of typical plates and really delicious is the trout. Personally I consider that to degustar "trucha la provenzal" is something sublime. Many restaurants exist that offer this fish in the cardápio (Jauja was one of that I knew) and the prices in general are adjusted in the question gastronomia. Also they offer to wild boar and deer ("ciervo"), but I finished not proving these meats.
A good program for the afternoon is to go in the coffee Abuela Goye. Homônima is a so pleasant place as the house that it is in Cariló (if well that of Cariló she is more spacious), where is possible to take chocolate hot, to lanchar and to pass a good moment.
It is traditional to take chocolate as to souvenir of Bariloche. In the center innumerable store exist that vendem chocolates of all the forms, colors and flavors.
Things you should not miss: The Lynch shelter in the Cerro Cathedral is imperdível.
Cured black does not leave to take a beer artisan. I proved one of the mark "El Bolsón" that is excellent. E, clearly, does not leave to eat trout, that is a delicious plate.
I also consider that it has many imperdíveis things, some that I finished losing due to time. Others can turn absolutely inesquecíveis scenes, as to go to a tea house and to be looking at the snow to fall for the window in one afternoon aprazível.
