Where to Enjoy the Best Lakes of Bariloche in Spring on a Budget

I am captivated by the lakes of Bariloche, vast and expansive like the ocean, their waters as clear as crystal, nestled among emerald mountains and cotton-like clouds.

It’s January, a time when my homeland is in the grip of winter, but here in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the peak of summer. Yet, on the Patagonian plateau, the breeze from the lake still carries a refreshing chill.

I was fortunate to capture the fleeting moment when a seagull glided gracefully over the lake, evoking a subtle, profound feeling. It reminded me of a line from a poem: “Drifting, what does it resemble? A sandpiper in the vastness of heaven and earth.” In that instant, I felt like a migratory bird, having flown from the far reaches of China to the other side of the world in South America.

The best part is that I often have friends by my side, allowing me to explore and experience more of this incredible world while I’m young.
