San Carlos de Bariloche How to get around Bariloche?
Posted: Wed July 16, 2008 03:25 PM UTC
I'm visiting in October and would like to hire a 4WD to see the lakes. Where is a good place to do this in Bariloche? I'd also like to drive to Peninsula Valdes on the Atlantic coast from Bariloche to see the whales - any tips? Is it possible to do this drive at this time of year and how long will it take?

San Carlos de Bariloche Pucon, Chile to Bariloche
Posted: Tue April 15, 2008 07:56 PM UTC
Anyone know of ideas how to get from Pucon, Chile to Bariloche? I've heard that you can take a bus to Puerto Madryn, and then to Bariloche, but is there a direct bus that goes from Pucon to Bariloche? Any help would be great! Also, any recommendations on hostels in Bariloche would help as well.

Posted: Thu December 27, 2007 01:41 PM UTC
I have 5 days to go from Bariloche to Santiago and I want to rent a car to do it with my family. Any recommendations on the best spots to stop and the best way to do it? Would this be too long for 5 days? How long would the drives be?. Is it easy to find hotels/family hostels without booking in advance?

Thanks a lot.

San Carlos de Bariloche Lake Crossing Puerto Montt to Bariloche or viceversa around June 30
Posted: Sun April 29, 2007 04:28 AM UTC
I am planning a trip with my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary. I am considering this route, but I admit that I am a bit nervous because of the winter season. Please advise:
* Is it too cold to take this tour around June 30? what is the average temperature in Bariloche and Puerto Montt? and how long it takes to go from one to the other at the end of June?
* I read that July is very crowded in Bariloche, but I imagine most people go to ski. Neither my wife or I ski, although we might be interested in a one-day instruction for the fun of it. Is it reasonable to expect hotel availability around this time of the year? Is it worth to visit in the winter if we are not skiing? By the way, I can pay up to $100 per night for hotel. Any recommendations?

Thank you
butron

San Carlos de Bariloche Honeycomb Chocolate
Posted: Sat April 28, 2007 05:10 PM UTC
While living in Argentina in the early 70's we had the delight of eating a chocolate that was very light and airy. It was full of small holes and when placed in the mouth began to melt immediately. Since returning to the U.S. I have been unable to locate it and was wondering if anyone knows the name of this delicious chocolate and where I can obtain it. Thank you in advance for any information you may be able to supply.

San Carlos de Bariloche Can you tell me how to get, how to get to El Calafate!
Posted: Wed February 21, 2007 02:11 AM UTC
Hi all,

Well in the planning stages for the last sector of our round the world trip - South America. All very exciting and all very daunting! It's so big....LOL.

At the moment I researched and got us as far as Bariloche, from here we want to head south to El Calafate, the month will be July/early August - winter of course. I found a tour that went down but only in summer, Aerolineas are quite expensive to fly and dont fly direct until the middle of August.

So, buses - maybe take a bus to Comodoro Rivadavia and another onwards? Has anyone any recommendations? Done this trip in winter? Have any other suggestions?
I have tryed looking at viabariloche and andesmar without any luck!

We are short on time and money for this trip!Any idea of timetables and bus fares ?


Many thanks in advance

San Carlos de Bariloche Skiing-best time? Thinking August
Posted: Wed January 10, 2007 03:52 PM UTC
Considering a trip to Bariloche for skiing this summer. In preliminary reading, sounds like July is to be avoided because of crowding from school breaks. But I recently read something about college breaks in August which I might like to avoid as well. Is there a "best time" in the month of August or is early September a better bet?
Thanks!

San Carlos de Bariloche DIY fishing adventure
Posted: Mon February 27, 2006 12:15 AM UTC
Dear Community,
My wife and I will be in Puerto Montt, Chile on March 13,2006 and would like to take the bus across the mountain to Bariloche. I have tried several different websites to try and determine the bus schedule and cost and they have all been old sited and have been returned as undeliverable. If anyone could tell me the actual schedule and cost I would be greatly appreciative. My wife and I would also like to do some budget flyfishing. That means that we cannot afford a guide and would appreciate suggestions. We like to wade small to medium streams. We are both in our mid 50 and cannot handle the big water anymore. We usually fish with a 5 or 6 weight flyrod. Would this be big enough for the smaller streams. I would really appreciate the name and location of some small streams that do not require special access premission. We will rent a car in Bariloche and have about 5 days for the fishing and can go North or South according to your suggestions. We appreciate all of your help but first we have to get from Puerto Montt to Bariloch and then back to Puerto Montt. All suggestions appreciated. Thank You, Steve
