La Cumbrecita - Argentina

Due to accommodation at the Oktoberfest being all booked out Ian, Richard and myself decided to try another town for a couple of nights and then go back. We took a bus for one and a half hours to a small Swiss town called La Cumbrecita. Like Villa General Belgrano the houses and hotels had a very wooden Swiss / German feel. We decided to treat ourselves and paid GBP17 each for a room and half board. The half board included all you can eat buffet breakfast (which of course you want to get your money´s worth) and a 4 course lovely meal in the evening. It´s a hilly area, popular for hiking and horseriding. We walked to the top of Cerro Wank, which was our effort at exercise. Although there were mountain paths everywhere. Cerro Wank is actually a brand of beer that we tried at the Beer Festival. The hotel had a pool, so we relaxed, sunbathed and a few beers in the sunshine. If you are interested in some hiking with great scenery, this is a really nice quiet place.
