Bariloche Argentina, Week 1 of 6 in Argentinian Patagonia
Welcome to Bariloche, our home for the next 6 weeks. Located in Argentina's Río Negro province, San Carlos de Bariloche is a Patagonian destination unlike any other. During our Patagonian travel, we have migrated north from Coyhaique, Chile to what would become our favorite town.
The city itself is located within the Nahuel Huapi National Park, and thus is Surrounded by lush and ancient forests, the foothills of the andes mountains, and cold blue lakes. In 2012, it was declared Argentine Capital of Adventure Tourism. In 2015, the Argentine Capital of Chocolate.
This video details what we did first when arriving to Bariloche. We will cover some things to do in Bariloche, how to get a SIM Card, Bus Pass, what grocery shopping is like, and give a preview to some Bariloche hiking trails and upcoming stores you can expect.
This is not our full Bariloche travel guide, which will be published in a few weeks, but it will provide enough to get you started on your Bariloche Adventure!

I can’t believe the bus pass was so affordable!! Was it convenient/reliable to get you where you wanted to go?
@@heatherroka5536 yes!!! So easy 😁 we we're impressed
So awesome. Fav travel duo
We are so honored 🥰
I feel like I want to go here even if it’s just for that coffee shop and cinnamon bun!
It was soooo good. Collin's been dreaming over it ever since :)
The shoes thing was fucking stupid. So sad you didn't get to enter, im sorry for that. It was ridiculous. Glad to know you could enter through a different entrance!
There was a rule for no food?!?? I’ve heard of no fruits, vegetables, and meat but not no food. Was there any particular reason?? I think I would have been pretty hangry by the time I reached my hotel 😂 Glad it ended up being a good adventure!
really cool video guys !!! cheers from chile
Thank you so much for watching! We loved our time in Chile so much, what a special place!
Los.perros en chile son cuidadanos soberanos y tiene los mismos derechos que cualquier otro ciudadano de chile.. y otra cosa.... Muchos de ellos tienen conciensia vial... Esperan el verde para cruzar en los semaforos e intersecsiones, tambien utilizan los pasos peatonales.
¡Sí! La conciencia de la carretera fue nuestra parte favorita. ¡Fue increíble de ver!
Which dates were you in patagonia chilena? And how cold would you say it was?
@@marionasalipdecendra5014 We were there late january to March! It was chilly at night like 40-50 f and during the day it could get up to 80f. I'd say pack lots of layers and be prepared for it all 😂
More cute dogs! This place looks magical
This place was so cool! The dogs were everywhere 😂 and they were so friendly (except the one…). You would love Chile Chico, the “Windy City”!
lol the ending is amazing with the bumps. Those views are so pretty!! Reminds me ever so slightly of twin lakes in Colorado :)
It does look like twin lakes! Just slightly harder to get to 😅😂
Qué buena experiencia!! Saludos desde Santiago de Chile!
A nosotros también nos encanta Santiago :) una ciudad bonita.
Estoy viendo sus videos y me parece muy interesante toda la aventura de haber vivido un tiempo en Coyhaique. Siendo chileno, les puedo decir que incluso nosotros no conocemos cabalmente todas las maravillas de nuestro país. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile!!!
¡Muchas gracias! Me alegra mucho que hayas podido verlo, ¡esto me alegró el día! :)
Muy bonito videos
Gracias 🙏 ❤️
That dog’s so cute 🥹
That dog was a ton of fun!! We hope all our horse adventures include dogs with this much energy. 😍
Loved watching this and to see how a couple less than half our age was 10X less prepared and aware than we were when we did our first Camino. Thanks for the laughs!
haha so glad you enjoyed our under preparedness...I promise if you watch the rest of the series we eventually figure it out ;) Buen Camino!!
Beautiful job, nice edition and Coyhaique looks awesome under your shots Congrats
wow thank you :)
I’m not sure how or where you learned about DNT and the concept of hut-to-hut hiking, but this is meant to be a secret. It’s the crème de la crème of experiencing Norwegian nature. You’re welcome to participate now that you know, but please keep it to yourself. Don't tell where you are - to anybody.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. With the trail being developed with the intent to encourage tourism, we had no idea it was such a secret. It’s undoubtedly a special experience, and one that should be cherished. We hope you enjoy your time hiking out there!
Amazing video!!!!! Thanks for visiting our country
@@mcmore7 wow thank you!!! 🙏🥰
i'm a chilean who has never been to coyhaique, great to see it through your eyes. thanks for the video!
Thanks so much! So glad you could see it 😊
Great video !
Thank you!!
Nice video… Chileans are so hospitable… down to earth people..
Agreed! We felt so welcomed here!
@@rohan-qd6py Loved the mate etiquette lesson.
We should have taken notes! The etiquette is so important. Mate is such an underrated beverage
@ .. drinking it now in NYC
Have a cup for us!
Thanks to You guys, we have an amazing time, hope to see You again ❤️🩹
@@martinsanhueza7537 thank you!!! Can't wait to come back 😊
Fun times in Patagonia.
@@marki7275 yes indeed 😊
What a love letter. It made me fall in love with Coyhaique too.
@@p-j-y-d 💗🥹 I'm so glad!!
Great video, guys! Thanks for sharing!
@@austinsisson1117 so glad you got to see this!! Hope it helps with your trip 🙂
Excelente video ! Les agradezco que allan mostrado una parte de mi region y espero que vuelvan por aqui, ya que les esperan muchos lugares maravillosos. Saludos desde la Patagonia chilena - Coyhaique ♻️🪐🏞️
Thank you so much! We hope you enjoyed the video, and know how incredible your country is. The people were so welcoming and the community was incredible. We will be back, hopefully time and time again! 😁
Loved the tour around town! Great Video!
Aww thank you!! Glad you liked it :)
Vikings are not French, but they are part of French history. Gladiators too, Gaul was part of the Roman Empire.
There is such a unique history in France. Each region has been shaped by so many events. Thank you for watching our video, we hope you enjoyed it!
They are part of French history. Please open an history book man
@@NormandieDiexAie De quoi tu parles ?
Shows are amazing but never forget it is christian oriented park mentioning in every show that christianism wins against other religions or invaders. They try to send political messages in their show.
Thank you so much for watching! We agree, those themes are apparent …but the shows are so intense
The norwegian "Allemannsrett" you are talking about...the right to "freely roam the land" , has a few limitations. You are not allowed to, withour permission, enter someones garden, land that is farmed for crops (pastures are OK, as long as there are no animals there) or any military, government or business areas clearly marked "no entry". When camping on someones land you are expected to stay out of sight, and not be heard. Other that that, you can go anywhereyou want to.
Thanks for the extra clarifying! Its so crazy to us as Americans that you have the right to "freely roam the land" - and the limitations you have make so much sense. I wish we did the same.
You definitely look like Norwegians. At least until you spot the sandals. Yikes! Stay safe :D
haha very true, thank you!! My family is actually Norwegian :)
French here 👋 this park is the best alternative when you don't like thrilling attractions like Asterix Park or Disneyland Paris ( my favorite place in the parc is the garden of jean de la fontaine , which for years was animated by animatronics !!)
yes I agree!! It opened my eyes to theme parks being more than just about the rides!
Cherries are locally produced in Chile Chico at the Eastern tip of Lago General Carrera - which helps keep prices affordable. Personally, I see Coyhaique as the administrative heart of Aysen but nature-wise I enjoyed much more the region around Puerto Guadal (where I'm attempting a reforestation project) and further South toward Cochrane and Parque Patagonia.
We'll have to go to Puerto Guadal next time! We drove by on our way to Chile chico, but didn't stop by and now I wish we did. Next time we visit Chile I'd like to maybe start in that region and make our way a little more south!
@@collinandmeredith when you go to Puerto Guadal make sure you contact Ilango and Toto at Patagonia Arisca to discover the Aysen backcountry with them! They're awesome and based in the most beautiful location you can imagine!!
@@SergeJFK thanks!! We definitely will! 😊
I climbed Punta Duff at the end of 2021 without ever seeing Laguna Duff - thank you for sharing the magic!
That's so cool! I bet that was a beautiful climb. Thanks for watching 😁 we're glad you liked it!!
Okay two questions!!! How much did you all end up hiking (day 1 and 2) and how long did you try hitchhiking before calling a taxi?!?! I love y’all’s adventures but I hope in my travels I never experience my bus driver telling me to hitchhike
Hahah I don't blame you! It made for a bigger adventure than we anticipated!! I think we hiked/walked 20ish miles both days 😅 And we tried to hitchhike for maybe an hour or so the first night and a few hours in the morning....we just weren't very fruitful 😅😂
ua-cam.com/video/fEDL4BaauDY/v-deo.html
I love your adventures but dang! I’m exhausted for you guys!!
It was a heck of a weekend 😂 I'm thinking next Valentine's Day we stick to a nice meal out hahaha
Wow!
Haha 😂 😆
Free pizza?! That would make it all worth it for me! ❤
Free pizza is good on any day, but on that day especially it was exactly what we needed 😂
lol yall are so positive I love it! I think the phrase Collin was looking for was Dilly Dallying. 😂
Yeah, that’ll do it 😂 the heat was getting to us!
They don’t know those shoes are legend
hahah it doesn't get better than bedrocks!!!
Poor bug got mugged😅 Awesome place by the way
Thanks for watching 😁 🫶
Chile es her❤rmoso🇨🇱🇺🇲🇮🇱
We love Chile ❤️🥰
Patrick was the best guide ever in the middle of the stunning landscape in Carretera Austral Lucky guys are you Like
@@deborahdor8909 we were spoiled!!! He was so good to us ☺️
👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching!
Your Grandma Clark just told me about your adventures and utube. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Debbie! Thanks so much for watching & messaging us. Grammy will be happy to hear to enjoyed it :)
Hermoso gracias por mostrar una pequeña parte de nuestra Patagonia chilena saludos
¡gracias por mirar! nos encantó esta zona de chile. <3
This is the way.
This is the way.
France, they know how to live
They do a pretty good job at it! Thanks for watching. 😁
@@collinandmeredith great content. I hope for more France videos
Us too! Because that means we get to go back 😂🥰
You know what? When planning our trip to France I think we'll just watch your videos and say "let's do what they did."
@@casperthegm741 haha I love it!! You can always message us on Instagram or here if you have questions :)
@@collinandmeredith I appreciate that. We've been to France a couple times, but only briefly, so I may take you up on that offer at some point. Love the way you guys really embrace the experience (even when things may go a little sideways) and have such a great outlook on life- hold on to that. Wishing you all the best.
@@casperthegm741 thank you! ❤️ That's so kind of you to say!!
