We finally arrived in Bariloche, and it’s as beautiful as every Argentine said. Until now, we were always asked, “have you been to Bariloche?” Now we can finally reply, “Yes, we have.” It seems that Bariloche is every Argentines favorite place in Argentina.
We had a feeling we’d like it here and we do. The only downfall is that right now at this time of the year, it’s extremely busy, but that is still an understatement. As travelers, we generally don’t plan too far in advance, because our schedule seems to change day-to-day. Up until this point, it hasn’t proven to be difficult when finding a place to stay. Well, Bariloche and all spots further south in Patagonia are very popular places, especially during January and February, and I kid you not, every place is booked! We arrived with one-day booked, and struggled to find accommodations for another 3.
