The Llao Llao Hotel is located in the tourist resort of San Carlos de Bariloche within the Río Negro, Argentina. This famous hotel is situated in the foothills of the Andes on a hill between the Moreno Lake and Nahuel Huapi lakes. The original hotel, designed by Alejandro Bustillo, was made almost entirely of wood and was destroyed by fire soon after its completion in 1939. A year later Bustillo built a new hotel out of reinforced concrete and stone, with the assistance of the German landscaping architect Hermann Botrich. It closed in 1976 due to lack of funds for maintenance. While it was closed, the hotel was exposed to robbery, vandalism and overall neglect. It was then renovated and reopened in 1993. The mountain in the right background is Cerro Lopez (2076 m). See PiP for overview! - scanned slide, Minolta X700

Bariloche is a city in the province of Río Negro, situated in the foothills of the Andes on the southern shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake. The city emerged in the 1930s and 1940s as a major tourism centre with skiing, trekking and mountaineering facilities. The city has a permanent population of about 130000. The name Bariloche comes from the Mapudungun word Vuriloche meaning "people from behind the mountain". - scanned slide, Minolta X700

Lago Nahuel Huapi is a lake in the lake region of northern Patagonia between the provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén, in Argentina. The June 2011 eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex, in neighboring Chile, caused parts of the lake's surface to be blanketed in volcanic ash. During the Last Glacial Maximum of the Llanquihue glaciation the lake basin was wholly occupied by a glacier. - scanned slide, Minolta X700
