Spent 10 days in Baricloche in March. We are pretty well travelled and have been to some wonderful places in the world. Bariloche, well not actually the town, which is OK, but the surrounding lakes, hills, scenery is just some of the most beautiful in the world.

We really hit lucky on the weather, cool mornings, but wonderful sunny days, spent time on the lakes, time walking, time eating and drinking. Excellent value. Lovely people. Stayed at Llao Llao, we thought it was a truly excellent hotel, not the cheapest, but as we are Brits anything priced in $$'s at the moment gets our vote.

Before you head out to Argentina stalk this forum, there are some great tips here, it was our first time in Argentina (not first in SA) and we learned a lot from here, look out for Gaucho100K's posts, he's the man, lots of little tips we picked up from his posts really helped us, like currency exchange at EZE.

Baricloche, go, it's wonderful. ^

Oh, if you are travelling around the country try and get flights on LAN Argentina (4M) rather the Aerolineas Argentina (AR), we had two internal flights on AR, one time shifted by 90 minutes, one cancelled, evidently that's pretty normal.
