    Colonia Suiza

    April 15, 2023 in Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    This afternoon, we decided to visit Colonia Suiza today, a quaint village about 25 kilometers from Bariloche. It was founded by Swiss immigrants in the late 19th century and still preserves its European heritage. We were charmed by the wooden houses, the artisanal shops, and the scenic views of the mountains and the lake.

    We spent the afternoon walking around the village and admiring the nature. We saw some interesting little shops; handicrafts, organic jams, jewelry, and various food items. Craig and Brad enjoyed some ice cream. We then took a short walk to one of them many lakes in the region. Pristine waters, surrounded by trees and mountains.

    We had a wonderful time at Colonia Suiza and felt like we traveled back in time to a simpler era. It was a nice contrast to the busy city of Bariloche and a great way to experience a different side of Patagonia.
