RIO NEGRO
Argentina's Lake District stretches across Neuquén and down into Rio Negro,
covering an area of nearly 300 miles between Lakes Aluminé and Amutui Quimei.
With splendid coastal villages and national parks located along the limits of northern
Patagonia, travelers find Río Negro to be nature's definition of paradise.
Nahuel Huapi National Park is considered the heart of Argentina's Lake District.
Often regarded as the Switzerland of South America, the resort town of San Carlos
de Bariloche radiates a European spirit in the perfect Alpine environment. Crystal
blue bodies of water offer mirror reflections of surrounding Andean foothills, while
ascending cable cars provide the perfect aerial snapshots. Excursions aboard local
catamarans from Llao Llao Peninsula will bring you to Isla Victoria, wrapped in
winding trails with various mammals roaming among imposing pine trees. Quetrihue
Peninsula is home to Los Arrayanes National Park and numerous twisted
cinnamon-colored trees. In the spring, casual bike rides will introduce you to colorful
fields of blossoming flowers and verdant hillsides ideal for romantic picnics. Inlets,
waterfalls, and even chocolate factories are available for exploration! During winter
months, Bariloche becomes a ski haven, hosting thousands of thrill seekers along
the slopes of Cerro Catedral.
