The city

  • Bariloche, with a population of 100,000, 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).

The School

Our partner school in Bariloche is conveniently located in the city centre, only 900 meters from the Centro Civico. All bus lines stop very close to the school, not more than 2 blocks away.

The school has 5 classrooms, a meeting room, teachers’ room, free coffee and tea with medias lunas (a kind of Argentine croissant) and a beautiful backyard with a view to the fantastic Nahuel Huapi Lake and Hills.
