Hotel Llao Llao is located within the Rio Negro province in northern Patagonia.  The province is beautiful beyond words, a destination to marvel.

Every window has an amazing vista.

Alejandro Bustillo designed this architectural masterpiece. The day we arrived was perfection.
The shining sun, pure air, and scenery all combined to create an extraordinary experience.

Several of our fellow guests went to a nearby ski slope for a day of skiing.  The man sitting adjacent to us on the flight from Buenos Aires mentioned he has skied Catedral Alta since his childhood.

We decided to explore nearby, walking the beautiful paths and admiring our surroundings.



One day we went into the town of Bariloche.  For the chocolate lovers, visit one of the popular chocolate shops to pick up a few gifts for family and friends at home.
