Bariloche Day Trips to enjoy during your Spanish course
 
 
 
 
By Carlye Goldman, July 2019.
 
After you’ve worked hard taking Spanish lessons in Bariloche, and you are looking for more activities and places to explore, you can take a well-deserved day trip to see more of Patagonia, Argentina. There are a variety places you can explore and continue to practice your Spanish while doing so.
 
To begin, a trip worth taking during any time of the year, but you’ll experience a Narnia-like feel if you go in the winter is Cerro Tronador. Tronador is Bariloche’s tallest mountain, and gets its name from the sound breaking ice glaciers make. This black-glacier is undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking views you will witness, and is the perfect day trip to take after you finish your Spanish course week(s).

The next must-do day trip is a boat tour to Puerto Blest, where you can cruise across Nahuel Huapi Lake, and learn about the incredible National Park surrounding you. You can see the incredible green waters of Lagos Frías, as well as hike through the rainforest to Cascada de los Cántaros.
