San Carlos de Bariloche is the main town of Argentine Patagonia's Lake District, built in a Bavarian-influenced architectural style on the southern shore of Lago Nahuel Huapi with the Andes rising immediately behind. The Civic Centre, designed in 1939 by Ernesto de Estrada with stone masonry and pitched wooden roofs, anchors the city's central plaza. The region's chocolate industry, established by Swiss and German immigrant families, and the surrounding network of ski pistes and trekking trails give Bariloche a year-round appeal.
