As I am half way through a Spanish language degree at university, I thought it made good sense to not only do a Spanish course in Spain, but also learn some Latin American Spanish \u2013 different accent, different sights \u2013 I couldn\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n<p>I flew to Buenos Aires, spent a few days sightseeing, and then travelled overland to Bariloche. It was a REALLY long coach trip, but I loved it \u2013 watching the countryside go by, chatting to people on the coach&#8230; and then I saw Bariloche appearing on the horizon, and my excitement grew!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box size-full wp-image-683 alignleft\"  title=\"Bariloche\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/bariloche2_12_09_08.jpg\" width=\"187\" height=\"250\" \/>Bariloche is just one of the most amazing places I\u2019ve ever seen in my life! It lies on a beautiful lake, with mountains towering over it and lovely, almost Swiss style architecture (wooden houses with big roofs) \u2013 and funnily enough, like Switzerland, it\u2019s famous for it\u2019s chocolate \u2013 just right for a chocolate lover like me!<\/p>\n<p>Its absolutely fantastic for anyone who\u2019s into outdoor activities &#8211; You can go kayaking, horse riding, trekking around glaciers paragliding, skiing and doing it in the most stunning surroundings \u2013 all of which the school can organize for you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/en\/learn\/spanish\/argentina\/bariloche.php\">The school<\/a> is fantastic and the teachers are very dedicated to the students. There were never more than 6 students in my class, so you get lots of personal attention \u2013 and the school is right in the centre of Bariloche, just a short walk from the lake. Perfect! The small class size and the mixture of international students in the school really makes learning Spanish fun and then after class you can go out practice with the locals\u2026.who are really friendly, as Bariloche is not a big place! As the locals are so friendly, there\u2019s a definite sense of community, which the foreign students also feel a part of \u2013 It\u2019s a really great experience, feeling welcomed, part of a community, learning Spanish in a really spectacular location \u2013 I couldn\u2019t have wanted more!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box size-full wp-image-684 alignright\"  title=\"Bariloche\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/bariloche3_12_09_08.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"170\" \/>Also, Bariloche is only a 5 hour bus ride to the Chilean border if you fancy exploring further! I went with a group of friends across the border, into Chile, at the end of my stay in Bariloche, travelling down to Santiago de Chile by coach.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Chile was great, and the mountains just as beautiful as in Bariloche \u2013 but I still missed Bariloche. I had such a great time there\u2026..something I\u2019ll never forget\u2026the mountains, the lake, trekking to an incredible glacier&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I dream of the day that I can go back&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Louise (UK) <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was planning my gap year, I immediately decided to include Latin America.
