We have arrived in Bariloche, a town laying on the banks of the Lago Nahuel Huapi in northern Patagonia. The architecture here is a mixture of stone and wood which is seen at its best in the Centro Civico. The town is also the capital of chocolate of Argentina, with every other shop on the high street having a window display full of chocolate. So there went the diet!
One of the main tourist routes here is the Circuito Chico which drives along the edge of the lake before completing a loop past…
