KERRY - The drive to Bariloche on the edge of Patagonia saw us witness some of the most spectacular scenery so far on a bus journey. After we had crossed the border into Argentina from Chile and began the drive through the Parque National Nahuel Huapi we were surrounded by snowy mountains on both s…

Not wanting to slow the pace down while we're in Bariloche, yesterday we did a 60km bike ride around the area. After a hilarious confusion between myself and the bike rental man, where he asked about brakes in England, where I thought he meant breaks and started to explain that we weren't on ho…

Very cold in Bariloche!

Finally, we all went to Cerro Catedral together to ride....... well everyone but Wes because he went home two weeks early. I cant understand it but whatever. Anyway, after some floundering around, we made it over to the side of the mountain with decent snow and a bit less people. Kinda bumpy and th…

Bueno, so this is going to be a post date entry, sooner or later. But right now I'm waiting for my bus back to Buenos Aires and decided I'd go ahead and type up a little bit more of my trip, I do believe it is about time I did that ha! Anyhow, Bariloche was absolutely amazing. I went there with Aly…

Well what can we say about Barriloche???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We were there for about 13 hours and we slept for about 6 of those, but it seems like a nice place!!!!! actually it was great, we got to the bus station about 9 at night ,and after realising …

Once again, not a lot to write here.  I poked around town a bit and packed up my things at the hostel.  All the while, I was troubled with my decision to head straight to Buenos Aires.  I really wanted to hit the beach towns.  So I went back to the Via Bariloche bus offic…

Argentina - what a great place.  The magic of Buenos Aires.  The tranquility of Bariloche.  Such a pleasant dichotomy.  It seems Argentina is full of these, a running theme. I am in love with Buenos Aires, but a break from city life was just what the doctor ordered, tho…

When I was about 19 and my brother 29, My auntie Mavis and her man friend Maurice came to visit us in Rochdale. Maurice was (and still is as far as I know) a barber of many years´ experience and so, fearing for our bonces in light of our father´s bald pate, my br…

After the drab experiences of Mendoza, we found ourselves to be delighted to be back in Bariloche!  Our Posada that we are staying at is easily the nicest place we have stayed at so far - the room, the views and the food are worth the extra money we are paying-out!  There are lots of fami…

San Carlos de Bariloche is well known as one of the top ski resorts in Argentina. Unfortunitely when we got there the snow hadnt arrived yet! However even without the snow it is still a really beautiful town to visit. I stayed in hostel Pudu while in Bariloche. They had a fantastic deal on wh…

I was on bus number 20 for the second time... the first time I had taken it in an attempt to find a place to hike around lake Naui Haoupi, but after riding the bus full circuit I realized that I might not find a place. I had gone back to my hostel and asked about where I could find something to "ou…

SO where were we, ah yes the lovely trek in Torres del Pan, chile, well the following day my knee was totally fucked! so we didnt do that much,a lot of reading and recouperating and planing the next phase of the trip.. Ushuaia or No... for those that dont know, Ushuaia is the southernmost town on t…

Monday 5 May:Last full day in Bariloche today, and not a huge amount to do as the museums are closed on Mondays.  Decided to splash out and take a ride on the ´Happy Train´, one of those kitschy little tourist buses that scoots around the streets.  Although not usually our sort of thing…

Started my trip in my hometown Cordoba. Took a 10 hr bus to Mendoza, well known for its great variety of wine, specially Malbec; from there a 12 hr bus to Bariloche. Then flew to the Glaciers National Park in Calafate. Couldnt get an airline ticket to The Southern most city in the world, Ushuaia, so I took another bus for 18 hrs to get there. NOT RECOMENDED! From there, back to Calafate, back to Buenos Aires for a day to visit some friends and back to Cordoba.
