Unethical trade...

We decided... to go after dinner elsewhere, we went to have a craft beer to Cerveceria Nordoeste... we were surprised that they brought it to us without any dish of peanuts or pochoclo, we requested the waiter, we answered that they did not have... that I was going to ask if they could make pochoclos... haha gave me laughter, but they never arrived, we paid the pint $5,000 a theft... the day before we went to a central brewery... that the truth left us surprised... by the attention... how they attend and take care of every detail... very reasonable prices... it is unfortunate the unethical of this brewery...sure we do not return even by chance

Beautiful places in our Patagonia

The most beautiful landscapes are in the south. One cuter than another. The views... we took a lot of pictures. Also the vegetation and fruits of the place

THEY CHARGE YOU IN DOLLARS, BEWARE!

Everything was perfect, transfers, the guide exceptional, but the unpleasant surprise was when the card summary arrived and seeing that everything had been charged in dollars, something that is not specified anywhere when making the purchase.

Glacier

It is Lago Puelo, not Pueblo. Border with Chile and from there to Puerto Mont Puerto Varas, the color of the water and vegetation changes when you cross the border

Tour to El Baggins or Lake Puelp

Hey, hi. I want to know what can be done in El Baggins or Lake Puelo. I would go on my own to spend the day from Bariloche. Any recommendations, I'd appreciate. Cheers.
