Bariloche is located in undoubtedly one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Western Hemisphere. For this reason a chain of Argentine National Parks protects this natural beauty. Numerous large lakes fed by glacial run-off reflect the majesty of the snow-capped peaks. The mountainsides are covered by primeval forests of subantarctic beech forest such as the lenga which changes color spectacularly in autumn, the coihue and the pellin which looks like an oak.
