Teniente Luis Candelaria International Airport

Teniente Luis Candelaria International Airport, coded BRC, serves San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentine Patagonia, sitting at an elevation of 2,774 feet near the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake. The field operates a lone runway and handles heavy seasonal demand tied to Bariloche's dual identity as both a winter ski destination centered on the nearby Cerro Catedral resort and a summer hiking base for Nahuel Huapi National Park. Flights connect BRC to Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities, with schedules expanding considerably during the June-to-September ski season and again during the southern hemisphere summer months of January and February. Bariloche's Alpine-style architecture and lake district scenery draw both domestic and international tourism, and the field stands as the main entry point for visitors exploring this part of the Andes. Chocolate shops line the town's main avenue, a legacy of the European immigrants who settled the area and shaped its distinctly mountain-town character.
