Circuito Chico




2/25 Today we rented a car to drive around the Circuito Chico which takes us past smaller lakes and up to higher elevations where we had a small lunch overlooking the western mountains looking towards Chile. We continued to drive to the popular ski resort Cerro Catedral where in the summer the lifts are running to take bikers and hikers up the side of mountain for views and sport. Our VW was a bit of a clunker so we asked for a replacement on our return to the hotel. The Avis agent brought a nicer vehicle to our hotel the next day. Bariloche is known for it production of excellent chocolate. With the mountains, the architecture and the chocolates the planners appear to be emulating Switzerland.
