Sunday 3rd January

Volcan Lanin (3747m)

We left Junin de los Andes and headed north briefly to get a view of Volcan Lanin.
On the way we passed a shrine to Disfuncta Correa. She died following her husband whilst colonising Argentina. He was a soldier. Her baby was found suckling on her corpse and Argentinians treat this like St. Christopher at home.


Volcan Lanin again.





San Martin de los Andes

Today we drove the classic scenic route of the seven lakes between San Martin and Villa La Angostura.








This is Arroyo Partido. The stream on the left flows to the Pacific, the one on the right to the Atlantic.




Another lake.


Cascada Vullignanco


A typical house. Looks like Austria!




For most of the route it was gravel roads. See the dust clouds.


Most of the cars, were 4X4, except ours.


Another lake.
Back at Bariloche we booked into Bungalows La Caleta, right on the edge of town with great views of the lake and this lizard.

The kitchen.



The view!
