7. Patagonia near Bariloche, Argentina

After 12 days in Chile, we headed across the Andes to San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina, for a couple of nights in a hotel near Villa La Angostura.

A catamaran arrives for the next leg of our journey from Chile into Argentina

One of the activities that we did while in this area was the Canopy Adventure Tour. There seem to be various location where it's possible to do this in the region, so we did it near Villa La Angostura rather than at Bariloche. Highly recommended :-).
