If my first impression of Bariloche was that it looked like a Patagonian Lake Tahoe, coming into Mendoza reminded me of the San Fernando Valley, a wide spread of low buildings among the irrigated greenery of an arid plain at the foot of the Andes. The acequias lining the streets (where one would expect gutters) make for alert walking.
And since you can’t wedge a large containers into these canals, trash is left in mini basket trees like garbage on display.
The sidewalks are wide and infrequently tiled. It’s a lovely city to roam on foot.
