View Full Version : Bariloche
We were considering taking the bus from Mendoza to Bariloche, but the travel agent said it was about a 13-14 hour drive. I am not sure if the guy was being honest with us, because he wanted the airline commission. Nibu, check the bus schedules. There is probably an overnighter from Mencoza to Bariloche. One thing I noticed on our Mendoza-Chilean border trip, was the number of checkpoints there were on that road. We were stopped twice and there were at least 4 other checkpoints that we didn't stop at. So maybe you have to factor in a lot of checkpoint time on bus trips in that area. Flying betweens 2 towns in Argentina you will notice that all flight paths go through BA. To go from Mendoza to Bariloche we had to connect through BA. Doubled or tripled the length of the trip. Luggage allowances on Aerolineas Argentina flghts are about 1/2 (19kgs?) of international flight allowances. They do still give you free wine on their flights. The main course for the meal was a pimento loaf style sandwhich. My friend will eat anything, but he cound't stomach that sandwhich. Locals ate it.
Bariloche didn't seem any more expensive to us than any other place in Argentina. Nibu, you might have to work harder to find the bargains you always seem to find. It is the off-season (skiing) right now and the town si not as crowded. Women seemed like typical Argentinos. Didn't see too many large-breasted women.
Bariloche has a lot of things going for it.
Places to eat - Restaurants off of the main street were best. There was a Mexican restaurant that was supposed to have the best Mexican food in this region of Argentina. I liked the food, but I want guacamole with my fajitas. Guacamole was listed as one of the items that came with the fajita meal, but they were out of it. Warning regarding Argentina restaurants - If they are out of something, they do not tell you. They brought my fajitas w/o guacamole and only told me they were out when I asked. I ran into this same situation on several salad orders during my trip. If you are facing the Premier Hotel, there is a great restaurant, just to its left. I got a 2 inch thick steak. They cooked it well-done (took 2 tries) and it was still tender. Dixie Cafe decorum with tableclothes and fancy napkins. Excellent food and service.
Weather - very changeable. Do not go to this town without at least a windbreaker, even in the summer. Wind is really strong near the water. First day was cold (with wind chill), second day was pleasant, and the third day was almost perfect.
Chocolate - Dream town for chocoholics. There is chocolate everywhere. Mamuschka chocolates are reported to be the best in all of Argentina. I bought a lot of these for my clients and they really liked them. The ones everyone liked best are the chocolates with dulce-de-leche (similar to caramel) inside. Chocolate with orange (naranja) was second. There is a Mamuschka store in BA, but it is about a 20 minute ride from the Recoleta area. One warning about the chocolate-covered cherries, they don't remove the pits from the cherries in Argentina. They don't take them out of the olives either. My friend found that out the hard way.
Activities - Skiing, tours, etc. We went on 2 tours. One was a bus tour around the area. On one stop, we took the ski lift up to the top of the mountain. There you could stay in the lodge or rent paddles and slide on the snow. A lot of Argentineans were having a blast in the snow. Saw some great scenery on this tour, but a rental car would allow for more freedom, especially if you like nature phtography. Llao llao, the incredile resort that sits by the water is a must see if you go to Bariloche. Tour buses aren't allowed up close, but cars can drive up and you can go into parts of the resort. Llao llao is the type of place that if you have to ask the price, you can't afford to stay there.
Second tour was a boat tour. Going to and from your two stops you see some great scenery of mountains, lakes and islands. Our first stop was the Parque Nacional Arrayanes. This park is the place that has the twisted trees that Disney used to design the forest in Bambi. Interesting place, but an hour was too long of a stay. Our second stop was Isla Victoria. This place is incredible. Scenery reminded me a little of some of Yosemite. Some of the paths are lined with trees that were planted during the Great Depression. In other places, they have cut walking places through hedges. There are 3 walking paths you can choose and they are color-coded with route markers. Downside is the tour only gives you about an hour to spend there. On our trip back we had a seagull escort. Go up to the top of the boat and enjoy the show with tourists throwing potato chips into the wind and the gulls swooping around trying to catch the chips.
Hotels - There are all kinds and prices. Nibu, I saw at least one hostel. I can't recommend the place we stayed at , but there was a lot of selection.
For non-hobbying vacation, Bariloche is the best place in Argentina. Although, I would have liked to have tested out MDP during its busiest season. MDP has the beach and a casino.
For the Nibu-style mongering, Bariloche will probably be more expensive. I look forward to your report.

In Bariloche, you can try the "Pedro B" Bar and Confiteria at 124 Libertad, just off the main civic plaza with the St. Bernards. There were no women when I went in at the 9 pm opening, but a very lovely young thing named Mariana (15582307) appeared soon after I expressed an interest to the bartender. We went back to her apartment in the adjoining building, and the 100 pesos for half an hour was well worth it.
There are a couple of other sex-oriented bars on the ground floor of this apartment complex, so I am inclined to say there is no need to do without in Bariloche.
Report from a previous trip to Bariloche:
Local newspaper has ads.
Tried 124 Liberador, a small Boliche (thanks to a PM response). You can negotiate with the girl before you buy drinks, if you're quick about it.
Took out Julietta, your typical California dyed blond look, except the 100cm bust is natural. Real cute girl wanted $P100 172 hr, 150/hr at her apartment in the Bariloche Center.
1 SOG, no DFK, no BBBJ = no repeat
Still, this blond is a very pretty lady - would compare well with most of the girls at Madahos, possibly Blacks. She wants 300USD for the night.
She offered a threesome with her friend (both from Cordoba), but she wasnt to my taste($P200/hr).
The Caribe Whiskeria is around the block from 124 Libertad on Ave Ing. Adalberto T. Pagano, 200-300 block. Just looked in and saw a few girls dressed for action. Two Discos, Babilon and Diversion, are on the same block as the Whiskeria - young crowd, though.

A couple of weeks ago Exon and myself took ourselves on a 3 day/ 2 night trip to Bariloche. We actualy stayed the other side of the lake at Angostura.
The trip, flights,hotel and taxi was 1100 pesos. We went fishing for a day, hired a guide, boat, rods, food etc, etc for 550 pesos between us a whole 8/9 hour day.
We didn't monger, we let our bodies have their own holiday!!!
We didn't catch many fish maybe 5 or 6, (we are both novice fly fishermen), but the scenery was beautiful, and I had a relaxing few days in good company.
FH
Flexible Horn,
Thanks for the great pictures of our trip, I realy and truly love it over there.
I would recomend Bariloche and the area's around it for lovers for theres not much Mongering in the place. Maybe a place to take that especial girl you fined in Buenos Aires.
Certainly not Carolina

Pedro B Bar on Libertad just a block from the civic center and police station. Very convenient for picking up their envelope. Opens at 10 pm, I was the first customer and no girls. I had a 10 peso coffee and left. Returned at midnight with a couple of buddies. Six girls with a scale of 0 to 4. One stunning tall brunette but I´m sure she was a transsexual. No one would confirm this. Girls were overly aggressive with the 25 peso drinks. Asking for another drink every 5 minutes.
They wanted 150 pesos for an hour upstairs. With serious objections and another ladies drink, got them down to 100. I wouldn´t have given them 20. Only one worth looking at. Two of them were strung out on heroine. 90 pesos lost for this investigation.
Wiskeria around the corner and apparently connected with Pedro B in common ownership and same rooms upstairs. Went there at midnight the next night. No girls. Had a beer and one showed up. Bot her a drink and was determined to get my moneys worth. This place is much larger than Pedro B with a lot of couches in dark corners. I drug her off and proceeded to to do everything except fornicate. When I came up for air after 15 minutes, about six more girls had shown up for work.
The whinning started for another drink. I told her of my unpleasant experience last night at Pedros and that I would buy her another drink in due time. She wouldn´t accept and explained the house rules were 20 minutes max between ladies drinks. I declined and she went back to the bar. She returned in about 5 minutes to give me her phone number for a private date. I never called her.
These places are real grind joints. I think they call it a monoply in the states.
I have been to 20 peso apartments in Buenos Aires with much better looking girls. If you're planning a trip to this area, take the 3 day tour (mine was 2 weeks) or take a date.
This is a record snow year at Cerro Catedral with over 3 meters of snow. I went skiing there last week and the conditions are perfect. For ski / mongers in BA July-Aug and maybe Sept, this is the year to go. Nonstop flights to BRC from AEP are about US$250 and 2 hours. You can rent everything you need there from skis to gloves quite cheaply.
Moore, a question for you: Is there any pro action that you've seen in Bariloche? Or is it better for a visiting monger to bring his own girl or girls with him from Buenos Aires in order to amuse himself for a few days?
Hunt99,
I was only in Bariloche for a couple days and only made a cursory look for action there. The only reason I go there is to ski and I personally don't see any other reason to go there in winter. There are some great parrillas and a couple decent non-pro bars (Wilkenney, Pilgrim) in the center that I visited after the slopes. The monger scene appeared pretty bleak - I entered one place on Libertad (most likely Pedro be mentioned below, I don't remember the name) and only stayed for one beer. There were 2-3 ladies there that would be very below average by BA standards. They were kinda rough, not so young, and quite pushy. I didnt even inquire about prices. I asked one taxi driver for suggestions and he said it was really late to be hunting; but it was only about 1am. Keep in mind that BRC is quite small, I estimate maybe only 20,000 inhabitants. If you want permanent company I would speculate it would be better to bring the chicas from capital. Of course that makes the trip rather expensive. Also I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a chica that can ski, assuming thats why you're visiting there this time of year. Argentine skiers are rare.

Thanks!Last night (Saturday) I visited Whiskeria Caribe and Petro B Bar. Both places open at midnight. Whiskeria was very dark, hardly you could see anything, and the chicas were 5-7. I really liked Petro be bar, not as many chicas as in the other place, but they were better. Here the barkeeper also speaks English, it can come very handy if you are Spanish challenged.

It seems from the lack of posts, that mongering is not an active sport in Bariloche that yields much. What does one do at night? I guess I could bring a couple of bottles of good Syrah wine and sit in my hotel room and get smashed.
Any suggestions from the mongering gods, even suggestions for a good neighborhood bar that caters to spanish impaired gringos where I could swap lies in English.
Thanks,

P.S. I do have some super nice girls available for the 23rd-24th of December in BA.
I recently returned to Bariloche to hit the slopes and do a little souvenir hunting.The sking was good all though the snow was so-so. While from mid mountain and up the snow was good, on the lower half their where more then a few brown spots and even a few mine fields (areas where the rocks poked through). The lifts were great with several new ones added in the past few years along with the first and only six packer in S. America. Lift tickets were $650p (less then $50 U$D at current exchange rates) and rentals were from $250p and up. I found it cheaper to rent then to pay the airlines a $100 U$D each way for my ski bag. I was able to rent brand new demo skis for $450 a day and even changed one pair at mid day free of charge. The trails were good, The sights were great and the weather held for the length of my visit. The mid lodges tended to fill up fast but the two on top didn't crowd up until after 1pm.
The town is very tourist oriented with plenty of dining and shopping opportunitys. Prices in general seemed to be CHEAPER then in B.A.. Hotel pricing being the exception. There were enough people hawking "Cambio" to make one feel they were walking down Calle Florida! When I asked they were offering 14 which was 50c less then what I got in B.A. The week before. The lake was beautiful and I am going to try to make it back this summer to do some sailing / exploring. As for hobbying.... I didn't see or notice anything but then at my age after a day on the slopes and a beer with dinner I was ready to sack out by 10pm so I could hit the slopes again early the next morning. So I did not bother to explore any oppotunities that might have been there. A great place to visit if you get a chance.

Any new reports?You have to bring your own as far as I know .
Specially in the summer .
But you can always check out the Internet and ask the concierge at a premium hotel .
Ask a taxi driver where the privados are .
Good Luck,
