Yo fui a Bariloche de San Martin en la fin de semana pasado. I think it has been my favorite place so far I have visited. Bariloche is about 8 hours from Pucon and it took about ten or twelve by bus, had to travel the whole day. It was a long day but worth it. I went with two friends from the program who also really wanted to go and love skiing just as much.
The first night we had an awesome meal of meat and wine. I found out that I really like dry wine, they had a very tasty Malbec at the restaurant we went to.
Bariloche is known for its chocolate, dry meats, cheese and wine, and we had a bunch of all. Everything was rich and delicious.
The next day we went skiing all day and it was magnificent. We had to take the public bus which smelled like a foot and had about 75 people on it but only cost like a buck fifity. I think the mountain has 54 trails but you can pretty much go anywhere you want if you can get back. The night before it had snowed a little so there was plenty of fresh pow to be had, and I had it all over, in and around my mouth. We hiked up a little too and had some fresh tracks of our own. It was incredible. O yeah and to start the day for the first chairlift you need to walk through a mini-mall to get to it. It was very funny standing on the escalator in my ski boots holding my skis. But the skiing was awesome, really soft good snow and the weather was mostly sunny both days. From the top of the mountain you could see pretty much everything. The views looked unreal. The second day was better picture wise but of course I dropped my camera in the snow after the first picture but I fixed it now. At the top of the mountain you could see two small towns, Bariloche, 2 lakes and tons and tons of mountains, ridiculous. We sat and chilled to look at the view for quite awhile. There I found that I want to be surrounded by mountains in my future I need them in my life.
At night we went to a couple of really great restaurants. We got fondue at one and for a first time fonduer it was delicious. I was stuffed each night. The town has tons of great small shops and stores for touristy people like we were being. They also have great small pubs and bars that were very cool drinking in and hanging out. Another night we pigged on a few chocolaterias had some hot chocolate that tasted like just hot chocolate syrup was sooo gooood.
Argentians are very nice not like what Chileans think of them but when looking for nice people you can find them anywhere, we just have to sift through the rubbish that people say about each other. I liked the Argentina vibe too it is a little more European than Chile and somewhat more relaxed, want to return to Argentina.
All in all I would say it was the most satisfying and delicious trip I've had yet. Mucho traveling but worth it, would definitely go back there again.
Disfrutar juventud.
