Bariloche - Switzerland in the Andes
Note: Click on the photos to view full size.
The clock tower on the plaza at Bariloche. Note the people with St Bernard dogs so tourists can pose for a photo (for a fee).
More Swiss architecture in Bariloche
The view from the top of the chair lift was impressive.
Argentina is full of surprises, first it was a Welsh influence at Gaiman, now we find that Bariloche is a little piece of Switzerland. Swiss architecture, Swiss chocolate, chair lifts, St Bernards, mountains and lakes all added to the illusion that we had landed in Europe. We loved Bariloche but decided against doing another trek there as it was all above the tree line and we have had enough mountain terrain for now.
