Hikes & Things to do in Bariloche (Patagonia Expedition #01)

On our first stop in Patagonia we spent a good 2 weeks in Argentina to explore great hikes and Things to do in Bariloche in preparation for the upcoming adventures

--- equipment used to produce this video ---

Bariloche in Argentina is located at the northern end of the region Patagonia and serves as the perfect gateway to start our adventure. Surrounded by lakes and situated close to the Andes you can go for big variety of activities. While it is one of the largest ski ressorts in South America in winter it turns into a hikers paradise in summer.

Rather than hanging out in the city itself we used it as a base to drive around the 7 lakes, hike & camp to the Tronador and climbed our way up to Frey, Cerro Campanario and Catedral. With this we can give you a bigger picture of the area and you can easily use this video as a Bariloche Guide for your own trip!

This part of the trip was executed within 1,5 weeks by using the local buses and a well planned itinerary after we flew in from Buenos Aries - following I list all the places we visited & Things to do in Bariloche:
- Chocolateria Rapa Nui
- Cerro Campanario
- San Martin de los Andes
- Circuito de los 7 Lagos
- Villa La Angostura
- Center of Bariloche
- Villa Catedral
- Cerro Catedral
- Refugio Frey
- Refugio Otto Meiling
- Cerro Tronador
- Pampa Linda
- Glaciar Castaño Overo

I'm excited to share all our experiences in Patagonia over the course of the next 8 weeks with you. In the next episodes we will Hitchhike the Carretera Austral, trek through the most impressive mountain ranges, ice hike over the glaciers of the southern Patagonian Icefield and meet impressive characters along the way.

The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.

Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

The whole trip was executed over the course of 2 months using mostly local transport such as busses, cars and trucks. A big thank you goes to Lufthansa for providing the flights into and out of South America in their new Premium Economy Class!

Just amazing! Greetings from a Brazilian/German 🇩🇪🇧🇷 living in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Bariloche is the crown jewel of Argentina. It is, IMHO, one of the best places on earth. We visited Bariloche for four weeks in Feb of 2019 and we wanted to come back in 2020. During my visit, we stayed at the history Llao Llao hotel which is the most beautiful hotel that we've ever stayed in my life. My beautiful wife and I took the exclusive trip from Bariloche to Chile via boat and bus through the seven lakes and jungle of the Andes mountain. It is one of the trips that not many people know about. The tour ended at Puerto Varas Chile. We stayed in Puerto Varas for a few nights and then traveled to Puerto Monte. It was an experience of a life time for me. Bariloche is famous for steak, lamb, wine and ofcourse chocolate. My wife would like to move to Bariloche permanently. We're looking to buy a home in Bariloche at a place call Arelauquen, a very high development where my wife can have a full view of the mountains and lakes.

Hi, I'm Argentinian. I was in Bariloche, for me, the best place was the Stephen lake. Good video 👍🏻

[PerfectLittlePlanet]

Amazing footage! We can't wait to get to Patagonia! Very excited to see the rest of this trip!

Ah, Agentina - so lovely and the lakes and mountains of Bariloche are stunning. One of our all time fav hikes was a 3 day through hike in Northern Patagonia, in Argentina's Nahuel Huapi National Park. The spectacular traverse from Refugio Lopez to Refugio Laguna Negra (Italia) was a highlight - the views across to the Chilean Andes were superb. Without snow the scree slopes of these magnificently decaying mountains were very challenging!! A must on anybody's hiking bucket list. Happy & safe hiking.

Hi we just returned from an Argentina adventure. Your footage of the Refugio Frey trek was excellent. What a trek down. Hope to do Tronador next time. Great restaurant called Punto Panaramico on the driving circuit around Llao Llao peninsula that has good food fresh salads and an incredible view. Already miss the breath taking scenery.
