“Did you ever hear the story of how Bariloche’s first airport became a haven for those who dream of touching the sky?” Right here, where the Aeródromo Lago Nahuel Huapi stands, once roared the engines of early Argentine aircraft. Opened in 1942, the Aeródromo Lago Nahuel Huapi wasn’t just a place for arrivals and departures. It was a symbol of progress, connecting this remote corner of Patagonia with the rest of the world. Imagine the excitement as Aeroposta Argentina planes touched down on the gravel runway. This airfield witnessed the dawn of commercial aviation in Bariloche, back when LASO (Línea Aérea Suroeste) took over the route, paving the way for the future LADE. Today, the original airport building has a new life. It’s now home to the Club Planeadores Bariloche, a gliding club founded in 1954. Look around and you might just see gliders gracefully soaring through the air, a testament to the enduring spirit of flight that continues to grace this historic site. The Aeródromo Lago Nahuel Huapi might no longer be an international gateway, but it remains a place where the magic of aviation is kept alive, a hidden gem in the heart of Bariloche’s aviation history.
