Renewed energies :D
We always return to El Baggins, either by proximity or by wanting to escape a little from the bustle of the city, always waiting for us with that beautiful green and with those clean and beautiful energies. Lake Puelo leaves you wanting more, to sit in front of the lake, breathe and let your tired little person go for a few moments, is to be at peace with yourself.

The hill valley that smokes
The Baggins is a village surrounded by mountains and hills. It highlights imposes or joins the Piltriquitrón hill of about two thousand and a half meters SNM. It climbs in 45' without problems and is of low difficulty.The feris-msrtes, Thursday and Saturday- has about 250 stalls of all kinds, from various crafts, vegetarian food, craft beer, craft clothes and several other items where they stand out some very cute puppets.They do not sell sodas.From 10 ha and until about 16 works nonstop.Tourists from all over the world cross as in a medieval fair.Near the local airfield provides baptism flights.You see paragliders always take off from the piltri.The hotel offer is sufficient and adequate.Sun and Moon for price and variety of offer and the best view of the Piltriquitrón.Many varied and Patagonian gastronomic offer.Treking to several sides:Cajon of the Blue, Mariano Moreno hill with shelter and dining room,Waterfall of the Virgin ,Head of the Indian,Blue River,and several others.Raffting on the Manso River that only has the wrong name,very nice practice.The Pagan Square of two blocks offers shows to the cap on fair days.The campsites are many and for all tastes.The public hospital is in front of the Paogan Square.Super-Catholic Church, very beautiful Catholic.In the end it is worth staying a week.

Among the best walks from Bariloche
This trip was made with my wife with the Natural Travel agency. It proved a quiet walk with various attractions. The trip itself very nice and lots of scenery. Illustrative visits to the trout farm and the sweet factory "Cabana Micó", where we buy variety of sweets at very convenient prices. Also noteworthy is the visit to the artisan fair of Baggins where in addition to the very good crafts you can eat rich and at a good price. Gabi, the guide, was always very friendly and efficient, while Gerardo proved to be a good driver. In short a highly recommended excursion to do from Bariloche.
