Seeing Is Believing: Cerro Companario In Bariloche

If you are feeling fit and want to do some exerting activities in Argentina, the Patagonian region has far more than ample to do. Two days ago, I felt the urge to escape the megacity of Buenos Aires and see some of the what the huge nation has to provide. I jumped on a bus and headed to Bariloche, a modest city nestled in the Andean variety. Right after sleeping off my 24-hour bus ride by Las Pampas and the province Rio Negro, I determined to trek up the ¨small¨ hill termed Cerro Companario, 17 kms outdoors of Bariloche´s center. I needed to see what 1 of National Geographic´s best-10 views seriously looked like (or so I study that the Cerro was in the top ten). We hiked up the steep trail, which usually requires about half-an-hour, in 20 minutes regardless of the light drizzle and moderate temperature.
