About 30 miles east of Chile's border and 1,000 miles from Buenos Aires, the city of Bariloche is home to 116,000 residents. The city center's beguiling architectural style is reminiscent of alpine Europe, but the real jaw-dropping views are of the surrounding natural world: Expansive, glacial blue Lago Nahuel Huapi laps right at the city's edge, and lofty mountain peaks offer views of lush forest and a snowy horizon.
Bariloche and the Lake District are known for their outdoor activities. You can climb countless craggy mountains, fly-fish for giant trout, raft world- class whitewater or hop on a horse. And during winter -- North America's summer -- nearby Cerro Catedral is one of Argentina's largest and most popular ski resorts, offering runs almost 2 1/2 miles long. There's enough to do here to stay busy all summer and winter.
Travelers seeking calmer pursuits have plenty to do, too. Bariloche's chocolate shops seem to outnumber all other businesses, tempting you to indulge as you explore trendy boutiques, sportswear stores, ice-cream parlors, Italian restaurants and steakhouses. The narrow, hilly streets buzz with activity, and there's always great people-watching -- the unofficial national sport of Argentina. For a break from all the fun, take some scenic daytrips and explore trendy San Martín to the north, hippie El Bolsón to the south or the Chilean border to the west.
And for a special splurge, indulge in afternoon tea at the gracious Llao Llao Hotel, located on a serene, green hilltop overlooking the blue fingers of Lago Nahuel Huapi. Unforgettable!
