Chapter
Patagonia
Argentina
Nov 18 - Dec 16, 2022
This is the wild and pristine wilderness that dreams are made of. For the nature lovers, hikers, explorers, adrenaline seekers, and landscape-obsessed photographers, Bariloche will be the town that kicks off our obsession with Patagonia. We'll want to take it slow during the week to prep for the many weekend adventures that await us: paragliding, kayaking, overnight hikes to legendary summits, zip-lining, biking, road-tripping, and nature walks where it'll be hard to put our cameras down. Let's spend a month in the mountain air, letting nature's beauty take ahold of us.
Our 8 Favorite Adventures in Bariloche
Bariloche is filled with outdoor activities that you'll want to come back here for other seasons to experience them all. When spring and summer hit, these are our favorite things to do in Patagonia.
1. Stroll through town & by the lake
Bariloche has a cute town center with interesting architecture, quaint shops, and a lake with great views.
2. Test out your asado skills
Fire up the parilla, load on the meats, veggies, and provoleta, and pig out when its ready.
3. Bike to a beer with a view
Along the Circuito Chico, there's the Cervecería Patagonia for a cold one overlooking the lake.
4. Trek to the lagunas atop Cerro Catedral
Find Cerro Catedral a short bus ride away for a day hike to Refugio Frey and two beautiful lagunas.
5. Paraglide high above the tree tops
Fly like a bird while paragliding above Bariloche, you'll get the perfect view of lake Nahuel Huapi.
6. Stargaze while staying at a refugio
After a long day of trekking, cosy up as a Tribe, gaze at the brightest stars, and stay overnight at the summit.
7. Road trip through the Ruta de Siete Lagos
Filled with pullovers for the 7 lakes that sit between La Angostura and San Martin de los Andes, let's drive Rt. 40.
8. Kayak your way across the lake
Kayak to scenic waterfalls on Nahuel Huapi, the region's most prominent lake surrounded by gorgeous mountains.
