We were able to experience a rather "traditional" Christmas in Bariloche. Many of the friends we had made along the way were crossing paths here, each making their way from various parts of northern and southern Argentina.
We rented cabins perched high on the hill overlooking the town. The owner and host Alejandro, proved to be very helpful and patient, given the rowdy bunch we were. (Vientos del Sur) recommended.
It ended up being steak asado instead of turkey; fernet and cola instead of nutmeg, but spending the holidays in warm and sunny setting with a fabulous group of people was a great experience. On Christmas eve, beginning at exactly midnight, we were treated from our viewpoint to an impromptu display of fireworks being set off from all parts of the city below.
After 5 days of overindulging in everything we could get our hands on, we had to part ways hoping to cross paths again at a later time on the gringo trail.
