Day 1Drive from Bariloche to Los Antiguos

Piece of driftwood in front of desert and mountain
Leave San Carlos de Bariloche in the Río Negro Province and coast down the infamous Route 40 that extends from the North to the South of Argentina, crossing the Andes Mountain Chain on the way. Experience a slice of Welsh culture in the picturesque towns of El Bolsón and Esquel, situated deep in the heart of the Andes. Immigrants from Wales first settled here in the late 19th century and continue some of their traditions even today. Descend from the mountains and visit the old steam-locomotive called La Trochita and the Alerces National Park. Here, appreciate the native Patagonian forests and gaze up in wonder at the towering cypress trees, some of the tallest tree species in the world. Continue towards Cholila, renowned as one of the hiding places of the outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Finally, arrive at Hosteria Los Antiguos to spend the night, located on the shores of Buenos Aires Lake adjacent to the Chilean Border.
