excursion the one we wanted to do yesterday we've come to colonia suiza patagonia (swiss colony) yeah i remember a few weeks ago you had mentioned this place and so it's cool to be visiting we just had to take a couple little local buses to get here yeah very easy to get here and well this is a small little village it was founded by immigrants from switzerland so it's got a really cool vibe in terms of the architecture and it's a pedestrian friendly town in patagonia you can just walk around everywhere because it's so small lots of things for tourists to do eat you drink and you just kind of wander around swiss colony and there's also some really good shops too so it's uh it's a fun outing i guess you could do it for a half day if all day yeah and um yeah we're just gonna see what we can find while we're here take it easy enjoy what's the plan that's important by the time we reach the village of colonia suiza aka swiss colony argentina it was already time for lunch so our first order of business was to find some food we followed our noses and they led us to this cozy chalet the food is here of course the first stop of the day had to be food what else would you expect from us so we're eating at a restaurant called ida southern air but they do more like german swiss food the dish i got it's called papa sorosti and it's basically shredded potatoes with onions and bacon took a big bite of that when you weren't looking i like it it's kind of like a pancake long crispy nice and tasty i missed another big bite there you tried your wine cheers for you people watching we got a red wine we went for a little bottle because we are planning to walk around today we don't want to be all lethargic exactly small bottles sam got the goulash with um which looks really good this is another favorite of mine little hand rolled noodles look at that argentine goulash looking hearty looking stewie looking steamy can't wait to try it you're right about being super tender i love the sauce it has to so much flavor packed with flavor have another bite did you get some sour cream in there let's melt in them so tasty i'm so hungry we're having a bit of a later lunch what time is it it's 1 30. mm-hmm we only have lunch around noon so bring your appetites today guys we're thinking of doing a few food stops today there's just so much to try in the town let me try yours since you had a bite of mine it's like a crispy pancake i'm going to taste the onions don't you yeah it's really good i was expecting it to be a little thicker but it is tasty dessert time dessert time it was included with your mane it was what a nice surprise so it comes with this apple cake with cream oh those apples are so smooth and there's tons of cinnamon which i love it's got a bit of a crumble texture on top of it really tasty and a nice surprise so we didn't know it was included so guys we had our lunch sam is really working hard to get that shot oh yeah get those mountains um lunch like i was saying the total came to 17 us dollars and that included two mains sam's main chain with a dessert fancy schmancy i will say like the portions aren't massive they were smaller than i was expecting but you do get bread at the start of the meal and while yours came with dessert so not that the quality was good that's good yeah i'm kind of glad that we didn't have an enormous portion because we'd be craving a siesta instead of wanting to walk around yeah plus there are lots of like little kiosks and cafes and dessert shops so we can always get a little nibble afterwards indeed so when we arrived in colonia suisa we learned that the best days to visit are actually wednesdays and sundays during high season when the town prepares a special dish called quranto we had unknowingly arrived on a monday missing the big cookout by one day kuranto is a dish that's prepared by digging a hole in the ground covering the bottom with hot stones and then adding a mix of seafood meat potatoes and vegetables it's basically like a giant outdoor pressure cooker and people come from far and wide to try this specific dish so that's something to keep in mind if you do decide to visit with nokudanto on the menu we spent our day walking up and down the main street and visiting some artisanal shops but since it was a non-fair day many of the places in town were closed wandering and strolling is how we ended up in front of the elf village truth is we had no idea what the elf village was all about when we first set foot in there but it turned out to be quite entertaining especially if you come with a vivid imagination we were led into the forest by our guide who taught us to identify all sorts of trees and mushrooms but then he brought us to meet the creatures of the forest we met all sorts of beings like the gridmen who are able to become part of nature leprechauns who like to guard their pot of gold and mischievous elves who like to steal trinkets from the home there were also trolls witches and forest fairies all living in this very forest fun and then we met edgar or edgar who may very well have a future career on the runway work it edgar we just finished visiting the elf village actually we met way more creatures than just elves there were gnomes and trolls and creatures that were half elf half animal half elf half tree and leprechauns and leprechauns a leprechaun a leprechaun but yeah it was kind of a fun attraction the only thing is that the stories they tell you are all in spanish so if you don't speak spanish you might miss out on all the elf stories oh yeah kind of like a fun attraction if you're visiting as a family or with kids just under five us dollars and the tour was like just under an hour i think so yeah i think it was like 15 minutes yep yep and yeah oh and we got to feed goats at the end of it all that was the highlight that was fun there you go and now we are going down to the lake apparently there's a little beach area around here we're gonna see what that's all about but so far it's been a very enjoyable day here at colonia suisa it's very peaceful place just dirt roads everyone gets around on foot because the place is so tiny lots of food options very unique architecture it's very german very alpine style so yeah those are some impressions did you bring your swimming trunks you know someone just dip their hand into the water you were saying it was like glacial water basically it's cold it's cold so there's a couple kids who've gone in kind of tip-toeing but most people are just out here working on the montana to be honest yeah no one's known's actually swimming no one's swimming no very tell-tale but togo would go inside oh togo would love it can you imagine he'd be jumping in this would be like his rocky's road trip all over again exactly we then did another loop around town and thought you know what we're hungry so off we went in search of a little something something ipa tie ipa time so we've worked up a bit of an appetite we've been wandering around now for uh two three hours since since lunch at least a couple of hours and we're coming here for an early dinner but this particular place specializes in craft beers they had ipa and they had porter so i decided to go for something a bit more refreshing pretty nice it matches your hair yes on camera it's a red color it's very refreshing and i'm so thirsty so ice cold beer is just just what the doctor ordered dinner has arrived and what are you having dinner is syrup so i went for the mountain potatoes they're kind of like fried potato wedges with uh cheddar cheese creamy cheddar cheese all over just a little snack slash dinner before we head back into town guys i got a burger and i'm just trying to think when was the last time i had a burger this is our first burger in argentina maybe it could be that would be kind of shocking yeah so lift the hood so we've got bacon cheese nice big patty and then under here caramelized onions we've got some pepper tomatoes and some lettuce loaded it's loaded and we're gonna share this we're gonna share cutting it down there it is looks good that was a great burger really nice meat delicious bacon cheese and then i love the caramelized onions too it gives it a bit of juiciness a bit of kick it's a really good burger you're gonna like it and that was your day trip to swiss colony bariloche this is a very small village that can easily be visited in half a day though it is also possible to stay overnight and do some camping or rent one of the few cabins our visit was short and sweet but we enjoyed what we got to experience in a few hours for any of you thinking of visiting don't forget if you want to eat the famous quranto visit on a wednesday or a sunday or if you want to experience a sleepy town almost all to yourself like we did then any other day of the week is fine that's all for today and we'll see you guys in the next video bye ciao
