This area is amazing. Well worth a trip to visit for several days. We were on a group trip & spent 4 nights. We could have easily stayed a full week & not seen it all. Incredible scenery. Hiking is great.

We’re a couple in our mid-sixties and we LOVED this overnighter, with a stay at the Refugio Italia. The hike is reasonably challenging, following the course of the river until a final, quite steep section before the refugio. But if you are in decent condition no problem and the walking is gorgeous all the way, with stunning landscapes on the final climb. Few hikers because it would make a loooong and rather strenuous day hike in and out. Which brings us to the refugio. Wonderful staff, hearty and delicious food, cozy dining room and the usual bunk/mattress set up for sleeping over w plenty of room the night we were there in mid-Feb. Doesn’t get the attention of Cerro Cathedral or Tronador/Otto Meiling, but was our overall favorite trek in the Bariloche area. Bonus was all the twenty somethings being curious about how old we were - and their warm welcome to our hanging out for the evening.

We have an AirBnB condo on Playa Centenario with the best views possible. We've walked the lakeside down to Playa Centro, where the main pier is located. Today we were able to watch a lake swim. It's about a mile by water, most swam round trip but some exited here. Wet suits of course. The temperatures run 55-59 (f), although the locals swim here. The water is crystal clear and it must be great to have a sail boat or any boat to explore the vast reaches of this lake.

I did a two day hike. Started the hike in pampa Linda. The rood to the starting point is only open in the morning, to go to pampa Linda in the afternoon you can only leave this rood. Narrow rood. In the bezinning the hike is easy. After a few km you started climing. It is 15 km to refugio Roca were you can stay for the night. Naar the refugio you can walk to the waterfalls. They are nice. Large refugio. They serve dinner and you can buy a Packed lunch. If you continue thuis hike you will decent rapidly. You will hear the whole time ICE Breaking from the glacier. Really cool. I think you will see 3/4 glaciers, i think it has in Total 8 glaciers but you cannot see them all. After 3/4 km you walk in the woods. Kind of hard lost of trees on the Path. Not an easy hike. I think most of the people need 5 a 6 hours for the 12 km. Really muddy. The last 2 km are easy. Around 4 you have to take a boot then a bus for 3=km and then an other boot and you will arrive hear llao llao. This part is really good organized. When you have bought your boot ticket , boot can be late the rest is smootly. They take care of your backpack in the harbor of llao llao you get it back. Take a warm jacket with you can be a bit cold on board.

Funny for children, interesting for adults. In the middle of Circuito Chico, you can have a dinosaur's experience, many of them are from argentina. You can see them in their real high in the Patagonian forest with an excellent guide. Highly recommended!
