Moreno had the idea to<br />create a national park to protect this amazing area, being the first man to dedicate himself to study and<br />investigate this spectacular environment.<br /><br />Carlos Wiederhold, a German seller, built the first store in 1895, the first tourist arrived in summer of 1902<br />and stayed at this store. The city was officially founded on May, 3, 1902; it was named San Carlos de<br />Bariloche, in honor of Mister Wiederhold. By 1909, there were 1,250 habitants.<br /><br />In 1934, the Nahuel Huapi National Park was created. Currently, the great majority of its habitants are<br />descendants of Swiss, Germans, Austrians, and Italians, who came from Europe to settle in these beautiful<br />surroundings.<br /><br />For many, Bariloche is a synonym of winter, snow and skiing. But there’s more: this city and its surrounding<br />mountains and lakes are tourist’s attractions all year long. Here, we give you a special report where we<br />cover all the excursions in northern Patagonia.<br /><br />Travel Services<br /><br />• Hiking<br /><br />• Excursions<br /><br />• Shelters<br /><br />• Kayak<br /><br />• Trekking<br /><br />• Riding horses<br /><br />• Skiing and Snow<br /><br />• Fishing<br /><br />• Real estate<br /><br />But this winter some tourists could not go because airplanes could not arrive there, only a few could by bus<br />because of the Puyehue Volcano that dispersed the volcanic ashes on all around Bariloche and the Nahuel<br />Huapi Lake. This also caused animal’s and plant’s death, and more.<br /><br />We have chosen this topic because of the environmental changes. Also because some of us went there and<br />had a lot of fun.<br /><br />´´The most amazing thing I did in Bariloche was skiing. I didn’t knew how to ski so I fell lots of times when<br />I tried to ski. But 2 days later I could go down the mountain and I fell only 3 times !<br /><br />The other most amazing thing I did in Bariloche was at the hotel where I could play lots of games. For<br />me it was the best hotel I went. I had a lot of fun and I want to go again.``<br /><br />Manuel<br /><br />``I think that this place is incredible and very interesting. The landscape is beautiful, really is a adorable<br />place to travel. I also think that it is very interesting their culture.``<br /><br />Catalina<br /><br /><br /><b>GoAnimate.com</b>: <a href="http://goanimate.com/movie/0KjfRSqFL55Q?utm_source=embed&uid=0ejIMjh6Fdw0" target="_blank">Bariloche</a> by <a href="http://goanimate.com/user/0olQ6ywe8GrM" target="_blank">soleykari</a><br/><iframe scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" width="400" height="258" src="http://goanimate.com/player/embed/0KjfRSqFL55Q"></iframe><br/>Like it?
