| Major
Cities in Argentina |
Buenos
Aires is the capital of Argentina and in the summer it seems that every
one leaves the city for the cool hill country of Córdoba or the beaches of Mar del Plata.
In the winter, Bariloche becomes the popular
destination for skiers.
Bahia
Blanca:
The english section was still under construction when we looked at it, but there's plenty
of information in Spanish.
San
Carlos de Bariloche is on the southern shore of Lake Nahuel Huapí, in
western Argentina.
If you feel like you're in an Alpine town,
it's probably because Austrians and Germans settled here around 1895.
Bariloche attracts skiers in the winter and
hikers in the summer. Boating and fishing are also popular on the lake.
You'll also arrive here if you're travelling
to or from Puerto Mont in Chile.

de Mayo to the National Congress.
