Bariloche is located in Patagonia on the shores of the Nahuel Huapi Lake, a small city in the Andes surrounded by mountains. It is famous for skiing but also great for sight-seeing, water sports, trekking and climbing. Tourism is the main economical activity of Bariloche, all year around. During the summer, beautiful beaches such as Playa Bonita and Villa Tacul welcome sun-bathers and some brave lake swimmers (the waters, from melting snow, are always very cold). Our school is conveniently located in downtown Bariloche, only 900 meters from the Centro Civico.
