I visited Bariloche some 30 years ago. I spent my birthday there in November and ate fresh raspberries straight from the bush. My idea of heaven.
Welcome to DU! 
Hello Paka and thanks for welcoming me here. Its a wonderful community....I moved to Bariloche a few years ago to retire as Im alone and female so retirement in the U.S. is almost impossible financially. I had a small cabin built on the Peninsula San Pedro (gorgeous near the Hotel Llao Llao). It is one of the most beautiful places on earth and that's why I moved there and got residency. A secondary reason was to get health care as its pretty much free. At least I was able to get very good medical care till I was old enough for Medicare (which may be in jeopardy). I loved the wildlife as many species I had never seen....many of which just crossed my property to climb a mountain.....the Peninsula is very agricultural and not many people there...it's about 12 miles from Central Bariloche.......alas I came back here as I couldn't tolerate the corruption in Argentina.....the entire country is corrupt from its President down to the taxi driver. I had many people steal from me by cheating me and it broke my heart because I loved it there otherwise. I came to not be sure why someone wanted to be a friend....because they liked me? or because I might be rich and useful to them....the reason in most cases......trust me I'm not rich...just trying to survive.........I sold my cabin but the bank has refused to release my funds....Im sure theres a banker that wants some new cars blah blah blah.........bankers are the same everywhere I think.....corrupt piles of scum....
So...here I am again.....struggling but in a beautiful part of California in the forest.....its good to be here too.......
Thanks so much for writing and I hope you survive this election in one piece and sanity intact!
