Bariloche, Mountain resort region in Rio Negro Province, Argentina
The town of Bariloche sits at 1055 meters elevation on Lake Nahuel Huapi, surrounded by snow-covered Andean peaks and dense forests.
German-Chilean settler Carlos Wiederhold established the first modern settlement in 1902 by opening a general store called La Alemana in the area.
Swiss immigrants introduced the characteristic alpine architecture in 1905, leading to the construction of wooden chalets throughout the mountain town.
