About Río Negro
Río Negro is a province in northern Patagonian Argentina. Marked by glacial lakes and forest-covered plateaus, its natural landscape spans snow-capped Andes mountains to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The lakeside city of Bariloche, set in the Andean foothills in Nahuel Huapi National Park, is known for its pebbly beaches, locally made chocolate and nearby Cerro Catedral ski area.
