Program description: |

|
Bariloche is a stunning town, situated right in the heart of the Andean lake district of Patagonia. It has a huge variety to offer all year round from wonderful hiking in summer and autumn to fantastic skiing in the winter. It is also great place to find some nightlife or just relaxing in a cafe sampling delicious chocolate and cakes fro which it is famous for..
The cocals are friendly, and very supportive of Intrenational students. We recommend homestays with a local host family if you wish to really improve your Spanish.
From the first minute you arrive, you can appreciate the amazing mountain backdrop of what is the holiday and outdoor capital of Patagonia. Bariloche, (its full name is San Carlos de Bariloche) lies along the southeastern shores of spectacular Lago Nahuel Huapi. It raises up the the slopes of Cerro Otto, behind which rear the spiky crests of the Cerro Catedral massif. Everything in Bariloche faces the picture perfect lake. This is an impressive expanse of water that enraptures you with its beauty.
The town's life-blood is tourism. Over 700,000 visitors arrive annually, mening that there is always something to do in Bariloche. The area's main attraction is the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi that surrounds town. However, in although in winter, its the attraction of the ski resort of Cerro Catedral, one of the continent's most important, that beomces the centre of attraction.
For five days in August, Bariloche celebrates the Fiesta Nacional de la Nieve, with ski races, parades and a torchlit evening descent on skis to open the season officially, as well as the election of the Reina Nacional de la Nieve, or Snow Queen.
Bariloche is an excellent base to access to many beautiful, and some genuinely wild areas of the Andean Cordillera. The perfect place to Learn Spanish in Argentina
