Trip to Bariloche in Autumn - Capilla de San Eduardo


 













Some 25 clicks on Bustillo Avenue, out of Bariloche you will surely visit the Llao Llao area, there you´ll probably pass by St. Edwards chapel, an Icon of the Area, a small chapel built in 1938 in a lumberjack style by the same architect who built the Lla Llao Hotel at the time when Bariloche was a top destination for Argentina's wealthy families who also had their estancia´s houses built by Bustillo.



















The chapel is built on a small hill from where there is also a beautiful view of the sourrounding Cerro Lopez, the Llao llao Hotel and Puerto Pañuelo.
 The church was built mostly with local wood (Alerce) and is quite picturesque inside, the altar features a cross shaped painting done by Raul Soldi a famous Argentine painter
