I´ve been in snow country for the last few days, in Bariloche which is Argentina´s premier skiing city. Its a buzzing city perched right on the side of a lovely lake which is surrounded by mountains. And the centre is lined with ski hire shops, souvenir shops, restaurants and chocolate shops (yum!). The view of the lake and surrounding mountains really is spectacular.
I decided not to go skiing, but instead I wanted to check out the surrounding lakes and national park. So I ended up walking through snow around a smaller lake (with a mirror like surface and great reflections of the mountains) and to a small waterfall and nice lookout. Awesome little walk and lots of fun being in the snow.
The second day I went for another walk around some different lakes, and while the scenery was definitely stunning, and ducking thru snow laden bamboo ¨caves¨ that covered some of the path was interesting, the weather was bad with a constant snow\drizzle most of the day. Still a beautiful area to visit, and apparently good skiing too from all accounts.
