San Carlos de Bariloche is
like the Puerto Varas of Argentina. It is the gateway to Northern Patagonia, and
is home to the famous Nahuel Huapi National Park. The main activities here are hiking, skiing and adventure sports, but by then, we were too tired and broke to do any of this. So instead, we decided to explore the park on our own via a public bus and on foot. Once there, we followed the first trail into the park that led us into a beautiful forest surrounded by mountains and lakes. The rest of the time, we explored the local culture of Bariloche which is mainly touristic driven. Chocolate stores and ice cream shops line all the main streets luring tourists with elaborate window displays. Of course, we couldn't resist. We had to try it all, and it turned out to be just good as it looked. In fact, the ice cream at Jauja was the best banana ice cream we had ever had. The chocolate and gummies were pretty good too. These decadent sweets were usually the last course to several memorable and not so memorable meals. Among the memorable was “La
Parilla de Tony” where we ate the first blood sausage, “morcilla,” of
our trip. Thank you Tony!
