Car Hire Bariloche
"Finding chocolate factories, going skiing or hiking, a hire car will make your travels around Bariloche much easier."
Bariloche is a beautiful town set high in the foothills of the Andes Mountains on the border with
Chile. You could almost believe you were in Switzerland there as the scenery is very rugged and alpine and the town has been designed with European alpine architecture.
The town became infamous as a hideout for escaped Nazis but is better known for its wonderful skiing and even better chocolate which is made using Argentinian cocoa beans. To burn off some of those calories you can then hire a car and find some of the many hiking trails that criss-cross the area.
