Bariloche City

Located in the Andean foothills, Bariloche rivals the Swiss Alps for sheer beauty. It is the most important town in the region.

Bariloche, on the southern shore of Lago Nahuel Huapi, founded in 1898, is the best centre for exploring the National Park. The town surrounded by lakes and parks, is a favourite resort for skiers and mountaineers. It’s renowned for its chocolate industry and its wooden chalets perched upon a glacial moraine at the foot of Cerro Otto. There is a belvedere at the top of Cerro Otto with wide views of the lake and mountain.

Bariloche has an active cultural life. The town has excellent tourist facilities and offers a wide range of services for those who like fishing, hunting, mountaineering, golf and water sports.

Isla Victoria Y Bosque De Arrayanes

Full day tour to Victoria island and “arrayanes” woods. This trip begins at Puerto Pañuelo located on the Lao llao Peninsula on lake Nahuel Huapi. The island is 11 kilometers away, the boat journey takes about 30 minutes. On the way to Puerto Anchorena you will be awed by the colour of the water, the Andean peaks and the abundant vegetation.

Once on the island, our suggestion is to spend time trekking it. The place must have been inhabited for thousands of years. Proof of this, are the smoke stained caves and the rupestrian paintings.

This island is 20 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide with a Total surface of 3.710 hectares. It is divided into three sections.

From Isla Victoria you can continue the trip by boat towards Puerto Quetrihue located to the south of the peninsula that bares the same name.

This bark detaches itself in strips revealing lighter layers of the same hue.

Mendoza City

Situated at the foot of The Andes, Mendoza is the capital city of the homonymous province and the most important city of the West of Argentina. It is one of the most chosen tourist destinations because of the various interesting activities available in the region. Lots of vineyards and wineries are located here, as well as wonderful sight-seeing opportunities, rivers, lakes, ski centres (Las Leñas) and mountains, such as “Cerro Aconcagua” the highest mountain of the continent (with 6.950meters).

The climate of the region is mild though the mountains provide a certain degree of aridity. The temperature in Summer ranges from 18º C to 33º C and days are hot and nights are fresh. In Winter, the minimum temperature is 3º C and the maximum registered temperature is 16º C.

Designed by Robert Von Hagge, the Buenos Aires Golf Club is said to be the best course in the country. The club haves three different 9 holes courses: Green, Blue and Yellow. All of them interesting and challenging designs. Borne to become a venue for the most prestigious championships, the most frequently used combination is Green-Yellow courses, measuring 6.755 yards, par 72. They are full of water and lots of bunkers. The excellent greens and a marvelous maintenance make it a perfect venue.

Llao Llao GC

The golf Course is short, but tricky, measuring 5,856-yards with a Par of 71. Precise tee-shot placement is imperative or you will be firing over, under or around cypress or larch trees all day. The Llao Llao 18-hole golf links are unique in Argentina. The course has rolling greens and fairways sown with fine grass over the shores of the Nahuel Huapi lake and surrounded by incredibly ancient large-sized woods that are 400 years old. Perfectly integrated bunkers, water hazards and greens, all different from each other, make up an interesting and harmonic assembly. The 18th hole, a 220yard par 3, will also get your heart racing with a forced carry over a huge inlet of Lake Nahuel Huapi. The course was host of the Argentine Open shoot-out, where Angel Cabrera won several times.

The country club lies on the northwestern shore of Lake Gutiérrez. It is crossed by the Longochinoco Creek, which makes up a central valley in the shape of a horse-shoe opening towards the lake.

During the entire round, the summits of Mount Catedral, Mount Otto and the deep blue of Lake Gutierrez may be observed.

Club de Campo Mendoza

Located in the department of Guaymallén, where there used to be a country house surrounded by lush olives tres. The 18-holes golf course opened in April 1974, and since then has hosted important events with players such as Eduardo Romero, Angel Cabrera and Roberto de Vicenzo. In spite of being relatively flat its defence is the difficulty that is found around the greens. This wonderful scenery is full of trees creating an amazing contrast with the green course and The Andes range. The course was design by Sanchez Elias, Peralta Ramos & Agostini and its record is 67 (by Guillermo Benenati). The club facilities include a modern pro-shop and the only driving range in Mendoza opened to the public, with indoor and outdoor areas for practice and a large putting green.
