Welcome to Bariloche, the heart of Argentina's Lake District!
I've designed this itinerary to help you navigate the seemingly endless things to do in this area. It does not need to be followed to the letter (unless you want to). As you go through each day's description it will help you get a grasp on what is possible to format your own perfect Bariloche holiday.
There is one day of activities downtown, another on the Circuito Chico, a day dedicated to lake excursions, and days dedicated to hikes and scenic drives/day trips.
You do not need to follow this itinerary in any particular order but I do recommend exploring the Circuito Chico on the first full day in case you want to re-visit a certain area or hike later on in your stay.
Some things are optional, of course, most notably hiking.
And while this itinerary takes up 4-5 days that does not mean I'm saying that's all Bariloche requires. There is always more to do and see. Don't discount spending an entire afternoon relaxing on a beautiful beach like Playa Sin Viento or the beaches of Villa Tacul. Not every moment needs to be planned to the minute. Allow some time for rest.
