Bariloche, Mountain resort city in Río Negro Province, Argentina
Bariloche extends along Nahuel Huapi Lake at the base of the Andes Mountains, surrounded by national parkland with snow-capped peaks and crystal waters.
The city foundation in 1902 marked the transition from an indigenous settlement to a tourist destination, particularly after the arrival of European settlers.
The architectural design reflects strong Swiss and German influences, with wooden chalets and stone buildings defining the city center and residential neighborhoods.
The Cerro Catedral ski resort operates from June to September, while summer activities include hiking, sailing, and fishing in the surrounding lakes.
The concentration of chocolate manufacturers in downtown Bariloche produces 500,000 kilograms of chocolate yearly, establishing it as Argentina's chocolate capital.
