So with our guide Jacob in hand we took a car and a daytrip to check out the local area.
First stop of the day is Villa La Angostura, a very upmarket resort town on the other side of the lake from Bariloche.
The town is filled with artisan and fishing shops....and of course nice resturants for us to have lunch in.
We decide on a boat trip in the rain to Parque Nacional Los Arrayanes.A 1 hour boat ride in the rain, with a very informative talk by a national park ranger (all in Spanish - so not able to understand a word...but im sure it was very informative!)
We arrived at the wonderful Arrayanes forest in the pouring rain which also made it seem quite magic (we have to say that...im sure it is amazing in sunshine and warmth too!)This forest is the remaining stands of the cinnamon-barked arrayan, a beautiful coloured and twisted tree.
It is said that even when the temperature is very high - to touch the tree it will always feel cold.
We really got drowned on the walk....so into a nice cabin for a hot chocolate to warm up.
Jacob, Ingrid, Reiner and Peter enjoy standing by the fire, before we head back to the boat and back to Bariloche.
