Hi there,
Bariloche is a beatiful quite town, situated in the North West of the Patagonia by the
Andes, in the heart of the Lake District.
A popular activity during the summer is Whitewater Rafting along the Rio Manso. There are several companies in town offering 1/2 day or full day
excursions including transfers and snacks at the end of the day.
Bariloche is also famous for its quality fisheries within the Nahuel Huapi National Park.
If you go to Bariloche during the winter months you can do
skiing at the Cerro Cathedral resort which is situated at the base of the hill. You can rent equipment and ski clothing at the base of the hill and in town. A cable car and chairlift join the base where cafes and restaurants await the après-ski.
Peninsula Valdes, in the other hand, is popular for its whale-watching and daily excursions.
The Peninsula provides a peaceful refuge for the Southern Right Whales as well as many other fascinating marine animals and land animals such as the mara fox, the guanaco, etc.
If water
activities are your thing, I recommend scuba diving and windsurfing at the main beaches on the town border of
Puerto Madryn and Puerto Pirimades.
Hope this helps
