Northern Europe's Influence in Bariloche

One of the must-see destinations in Argentina is Bariloche, located about a 2 1/2 hour flight from Buenos Aires, this alpine wonderland near the Chilean border is a real jewel. The full name of the town is San Carlos de Bariloche - located in Patagonia, it offers visitors all kind of fun activities - skiing, white water rafting, mountain climbing... you name it. One of the things I most liked about Bariloche was the strong European influence (as is the case in Argentina). What you'll see here is a strong northern European influence in the architecture, the cuisine, the chocolates (lots of chocolates) and the people. It really is an amazing place to visit.
