Leaving the rugged climes of Southern Patagonia I arrived in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche. This city sits on the banks of Lake Huapi and is very close to National Parks Huapi and Lanin. The architecture is influenced by the Swiss Alps as the area is a booming ski mecca in winter (May to September). I had the chance to catch some intersting festival activities and do alot of catching up on simple kicking back and relaxing at the beach. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Theatre in the Street
The Carny party continues outside the plaza. Bariloche is whooping it up!
Andean Dance in the Plaza
This ribbon dance is quite colorful. If one person makes a mistake the whole operation is a failure. I love the idea of unity and coordination.
Dance of the Virgin
This was very colorful also. The festival of the virgin is tradtional to many parts of Latin America. I rememebr in Ecuador it was accompanied by fireworks and hoopla and of course dancing.
