Bariloche and the Route of the Seven Lakes
Usually simply referred to as Bariloche, San Carlos de Bariloche is a lively city set in the midst of Nahuel Huapi National Park, and Patagonia's the northern Lake District.
Description
Skiers, especially those from the Northern Hemisphere seeking snow in the height of the northern summer, flock to Bariloche for nearby Cerro Catedral, the tallest of its peaks and a popular ski resort. One of the largest ski resorts in South America, Cerro Catedral includes more than 100 kilometers of ski terrain and is particularly popular for its stunning views over Nahuel Huapi, in the middle of the national park.
Bariloche is a center for active adventure and for exploring the park's mountains, lakes, waterfalls, forests, glaciers and extinct volcanos. Although the region is rich in opportunities for hiking, rafting, cycling and climbing, a driving circuit known as the Route of the Seven Lakes takes tourists to the alpine lakes of Nahuel Huapi, Espejo, Escondido, Falkner, Villarino, Correntoso, and Machónico.
