San Carlos de Bariloche is an enigma to even the most seasoned traveller. It is a busy cosmopolitan city, with a population of over 100,000 and yet it is completely surrounded by a beautiful National Park, with the Patagonian Steppe in one direction and the Andes in another. Lake Nahuel Huapi, which gives the park its name, stretches away on the third side and is where many of the activities of the city are based. You have to be fairly hardy though – the water is only 14°C in the summer.

Even a San Carlos de Bariloche city centre (center) apartment will not be far from stunning scenery as the whole place is not very big and is after all bedded in a national park. It is a very popular holiday destination for locals as well as Europeans and North Americans and so you will have interesting neighbours in your San Carlos de Bariloche holiday rental. The architecture is not what you would expect in a city such as this, being very influenced by the neo-Gothic. If it looks familiar to a European there is a good reason; it was known as ‘Little Switzerland’ in the 1930s because of its Tyrolean feel.

There is no need to worry about finding your way back to your San Carlos de Bariloche serviced apartment or aparthotel. The roads are arranged on a grid system and are easy to learn. The cathedral, perched on the edge of the foothills, is both fascinating to visit and serves as an excellent landmark for you to get your bearings. It is well worth venturing out at night from your San Carlos de Bariloche serviced residence, whether it is a short stay apartment or if you are staying longer. The nightlife of the town is well known throughout the country and is a reflection of the skiing culture of the area.

The Swiss influence is particularly marked in the Civic Centre architecture. This building, now a national monument, houses the tourist offices and you can book tours there to the surrounding area. The Museo de la Patagonia Perito Moreno is on five floors and every one is a delight. The area has gone through many changes since it first started to grow into a substantial town from its humble beginnings as a small shop just over one hundred and forty years ago. It is a place with something for everyone and a surprise around every corner.
