We will be travelling with the 5-star Via Bariloche Tutto Letto service

The trip cost includes a bus from Buenos Aires to Bariloche, the main city in the region of Patagonia we are heading to. This is not just any bus, though. We will be travelling with the 5-star Via Bariloche Tutto Letto service.

These are double decker long-distance buses which have seats that turn into FULL OUT, 180-degree BEDS. They serve you a hot dinner, bring you whisky before you go to sleep, serve you breakfast the next morning, lunch, everything. You can compare it to First Class on an airplane. Buses are THE way to get around in Argentina (in fact, the concept of the bus was invented in Argentina). The ride from Buenos Aires to Bariloche is 20 hours, of which - and I can say this from my personal experience as well as that of friends who have visited me - you will sleep anywhere from 14 to 18 hours. Check this out, these two international travelers got so excited with the Tutto Letto, they even posted a video to YouTube. (Ok, check out the video if you'd like, but don't get stuck on YouTube for too long! Come back to Cool Me Down!): "posted a video to YouTube!"

This ride is super comfortable. You feel like you are floating on clouds or on your favorite pillow. Add the scenery of the argentine Pampas and Patagonia, and you are more than set. The idea is that we arrive well-rested down to Patagonia. Travelling by bus on this end of our trip allows us to rest on the way down, as opposed to taking a lightning-speed flight down to Barioche on the same day we arrive to Argentina, which would be most exhausting. So by Tutto Letto Bus five-star service we will go!
