BARILOCHE
Fri Mar 09
Visit to San Martín de los Andes & 7 Lakes Road
Journey along the Seven Lakes Road (Route 234) taking in the beauty of the mountain scenery and the
sparkling lakes. Although a long day with lots of driving, it is well worth it with beautiful views of Lake Machonico, Lake Escondido, Lake Correntoso, Lake Espejo, Lake Lacar, Lake Falkner and Lake Villarino. Also explore the Andean town of 
San Martin de los Andes, located at the end of the Seven Lakes route. (09:00 to 20:00. Private Activity).

Saturday Mar 10 Free day
Places to Visit in the Lake District* Parque nacional Conguilli* Villarrica* Pucon* Valdivia* Lago Llanquihue* Ojo de Caburgua* Laguna Azul

Located on the banks of the picturesque Nahuél Huapí lake, Bariloche offers skiers some of the best slopes in Argentina and attracts trekking enthusiasts. Nicknamed the 'Switzerland of Argentina' for its snowcapped mountains, deep blue lakes and lush green forests; Bariloche is the ideal place to enjoy the best of nature and modern luxuries.
Chocolate Shops
Perhaps the most popular outing is the Circuito Chico, which loops around to the northwest through the gorgeous Llao Llao Peninsula.  It’s a place of hushed coves, an enchanting myrtle forest, hidden ponds, and picture-perfect overlooks, with the snow-capped peaks of Cerros Lopez and Capilla standing silent in the distance.  Alternatively, those drawn by the lake’s icy waters themselves can choose between two boat trips.  One goes to Isla Victoria, a conifer-forested slab in the middle of Lago Nahuel Huapi where, it is said, Disney’s animators got the inspiration for Bambi; the other goes further afield, threading its way into one of the lake’s branches at Puerto Blest, whence travelers have the option of continuing on to Puerto Montt in Chile.  If you elect to do the second trip, don’t miss the side jaunt to the emerald waters of Lago Frias, but in either case, bring plenty of food for the pelicans: they’re friendly.

To match Bariloche’s famous Alpine architecture, there are numerous speciality chocolate shops in the town centre for visitors to enjoy. Most are located on the main shopping street, Bartolomé Mitre, so they’re hard to avoid and resist the temptation. The most popular shop with locals is Chocolates Rapa Nui, which has existed in the town for generations since it was first set up in the early 1900s by an Italian immigrant. The shop is also home to a café serving desserts and other patisserie items, as well as ice-cream. Other popular shops include Chocolates del Turista (especially for free samples), Mamuschka and Bonifacio.
