After long way travel, we came to Bariloche, heart of Argentinian side of the Patagonia. It was 3am in the morning, so we spent the night before the city with beautiful night view of the city. Sky was full of stars and in the lower part there is lake and city lights shining.
Second day of our little tour de Patagonia, we started about noon, we felt our first day in the mountains in our legs. Route was in the middle mountains, so it was riding down and up all the time. It was beginning of the 7 lake land. Area has changed, from red sand to mountains full of green, trees, flowers. Now we have natural windshield. We arrived to Villa La Angostura after riding 25km (15 miles) and decided to find place to sleep. It suppose to be rainy later this day. Again, similar story, we found a beach with great view, have little fast fire with roasted potatoes. When it started to rain, we were safe in the tent.
Next morning, after noon sky started to be blue again. This day we saw a few lakes on our way, about 4 I think. In each, in the surface of the water, we could easily see, green, powerfull mountains. Forecast was showing that good weather should be for 3 days maximum. We decided to make shorter circle around the lakes. After turn, paved road has finished and gravel, sandy, old road began. Riding with panniers was hard, but in return we get really stunning views, wild area without many cars. This unpaved road suppose to be short - only 30km (18 miles) this day, but such distance in the mountains, with panniers, on such road, let's say it wasn't so short for us :). We made more than 60km (40 miles) this day. 
With sunrise we started fire, so we could make coffee, eat hot bun and oatmeal to be ready to ride. First half of the day, it was continuing of the same unpaved road. It leads out of the lakes area between the mountains, which top was about 700m (3000 ft) above.
