A Braniff travel film from 1967, presenting the exciting ski vacations available at Bariloche Lake in Argentina. San Carlos de Bariloche has a bright, fresh look, which is not entirely due to the mountain lake in its front yard or the snow-crowned Andes peaks on its horizon. Appearing ever anxious to do justice to its great natural setting, the two continues to add new man-made facilities for the convenience and delight of vacationers.
Bariloche welcomes air travelers with a newly completed terminal at is jetport, a spacious new clubhouse and swimming pool complex on its lakefront and a new chairlift for high sightseeing on Mount Campanario just outside of town.
These and other innovations attest to the growing popularity of Bariloche and the region of which it is the center, the fabulous lakes district of southwestern Argentina. The district flows across the border, of course, into the equally lyrical lake lands of Chile.
Braniff International reports that at least twenty-five of the Airline's standard South American tours in 1967, include a swing through the lakes country and that many North Americans, traveling independently, plan their vacations to include a maximum of time in this land of jeweled waters, majestic mountain scenery and fantastic fishing and boating.
A tour of the lakes begins with a direct jet flight to either Buenos Aires or Santiago. Braniff has ten such flights a week from the United States to the Argentine capital and seven flights a week to the capital of Chile.
