Anybody Been To Meliquina?

[lucha54]

I read about this idyllic little town in Patagonia (off of Ruta de 7 Lagos) in a travel magazine a while go and I'm wondering if it's worth a day trip (or 1 night stay) from Bariloche when I go back to the south this summer... note I'm not going back to SMA so I wouldn't be able to go from there (although I understand it's much closer and I'm also wondering about direct access from Bariloche without having to rent a car - i.e. if it's possible). let me know if you've been and what you thought of the place!

Never been there myself but:

This website (http://www.meliquina-patagonia.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3&Itemid=3) states:

OMNIBUS CORTA DISTANCIA
La empresa Ko-KO brinda dos servicios los días sábados y domingos únicamente.
09.00 y 16.00hs de San Martin de los Andes a Meliquina
10.30 y 18.00 hs de Meliquina a San Martin de los Andes

I would suggest you contact them to check, as the website says 'copyright 2007'!!!: http://www.empresakoko.com.ar/index.php

Considering at the this time of year (not sure about the summer) there are even very limited services (only 2 daily) between Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes, I think your only option would be to hire car unless you want to go to San Martin and take a taxi the 35km to Meliquina.
