Encanto del Rio

Bariloche & the Lake District


Located halfway between downtown and Puerto Manzano, this supremely comfortable set-up has a great range of options. The rooms are well equipped and spacious, with views of the mountains or river. The cabins add a touch of privacy and include a full kitchen. The apartments are good, too, although a little overpriced.
