Bariloche Airport Transfer (BRC) — Patagonia

Bariloche Airport (Teniente Luis Candelaria) is 15 kilometres east of San Carlos de Bariloche city centre in Argentine Patagonia. Bariloche sits on the shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi at the edge of Patagonian Nahuel Huapi National Park — one of South America's most spectacular alpine destinations. The city is the gateway to Cerro Catedral ski resort (the largest in South America) in winter and a hiking and lake district hub in summer. Taxis and remis are available from the airport; Uber has no presence in Bariloche. Through LocalsRide, the USD price is fixed and a named driver is waiting at arrivals — the reliable option in a remote city where transport options are limited.
