A rather calm day when we went walking around the little town exploring its corners. Here’s a day in the town through the pictures I took. This town has an European Ski resort feel and has a very quaint character, there has been a lot of care taken in every building and road, what is surprising is that we saw municipal cleaners working hard on the streets till past mid-day.

Overall a very colourful and unique settlement of 8000 people purely dependant on tourism! And then we were on our way to the airport for the flight to San Carlos de Bariloche – I have already taken a liking to this city and will talk about it tomorrow.
Stunning pics… i love the ensemble of colors…
Any idea why some of the houses have slanting roofs almost touching the ground, very unusual architecture…
Some say its just architecture but others say that is the best protection against the severe Patagonian winds…so its one protection against the top and the sides.
