Bariloche, Argentina
They say Bariloche is the ‘Little Switzerland of South America.’ Located in the depths of Patagonia on the banks of the Nahuel Huapi Lake, this city has a distinctly European feel. In the 1800s, plenty of German, Swiss, and Italian immigrants moved here, bringing with them their architectural styles and fine chocolate-making skills.
You might think you’re in the Swiss Alps until someone hands you a strong cup of mate instead of a Lindt hot chocolate. This mountain city mixes Alpine charm with a distinctly Argentinian soul.
