You step into a cool Patagonian morning as the minivan pulls away from Bariloche, windows framing the first silver glint of the Limay River. The road breathes through coihue forests, then opens into the Amphitheater at Rincón Grande — a curved rock face that throws back sound and the imagination. As the vehicle climbs toward the Ruta de los Siete Lagos, lakes appear like polished mirrors, each reflecting a different mood of the Andes.
