Lakes and Volcanoes, Bariloche and Pucon

Bariloche, Argentina is nestled amongst the mountains and lakes of northern Patagonia. It has a distinct Swiss feel to it, complete with whiskey barrel touting St Bernard dogs to have your photo taken with. I wasn't feeling great during our brief visit there but did have a lovely wander around the artisan markets and enjoyed sitting at the lake, despite the pebble beach.



We then journeyed from Argentina to Chile, our last border crossing, via what is considered one of the most beautiful roads in South America.





Luckily as we entered Chile we were able to see the volcanoes around Pucon because it poured with rain for our entire visit and the town was shrouded in mist. As we left on Monday morning the sky cleared and we finally saw the famous Villarica volcano again. It meant for a quiet but fun weekend, with a walking tour of the city, fancy thermal pool visit and a fun almost end of tour party.
