    Thinking Of Coming Back--Question About Prices And Andes

    Perhaps El Bolson is just too quiet/laid back for me... I've been there trekking a few times (http://www.trekelbolson.com) and numerous times to the Sunday market with the girlfriend on a day trip from Bariloche, but probably not enough to get to know the area properly. For me it seems to lack...

    Thinking Of Coming Back--Question About Prices And Andes

    I live in downtown Bariloche. Living out of town is definitely the best option, even better if you have a car for more independence. Groceries are probably about 10 - 20% more expensive here than BA. Bariloche - Llao Llao (25km's) on the bus is about AR$7. Rentals rates/ house,plot purchase...

    Social Unrest And Looting In Bariloche...

    So the police rock up and find a big screen TV on your property. First they have to prove where it came from, then they have to prove who stole it. The thieves aren't as stupid as you may think.
