Bariloche is located on the shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi, a huge lake that is part of the national park system. A popular activity among children and adults is to take a boat ride (above) and try to get a seagull to snatch a cracker out of your hand while the boat is moving. Party pooper that I am, I opted for just the boat ride.
The boat had two destinations, the first being Los Arrayanes National Park. This forest consisted of rare myrtle trees (above), some of which were over 600 years old.
The second stop was Isla Victoria, the largest island on the lake (above). We only had a hour to explore, which was kind of a bummer, but that's what happens when you only half understand the language.

Needing a drink after spending two hours on a boat with Argentinian teenagers, we stopped by the stunning Hotel Llao Llao (above).
For dinner, we decided to forgo the parilla and instead ate at Cassis, an exceptional restaurant on the Lago Gutiérrez where we enjoyed Patagonia specialities like local trout and lamb (above).
