La Cascada Casa Patagonica by Don

The Resort & Its Setting

La Cascada Casa Patagonica by Don is an independently run timeshare property in Bariloche, affiliated with RCI. That combination means owners get the character of a locally managed, Patagonian-style property while still having access to RCI's exchange system for swapping weeks or points for stays at other resorts worldwide. The resort's name nods to the waterfalls and mountain streams that are a signature feature of this part of Rio Negro.

Bariloche and the Surrounding Area

Bariloche sits on the shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi, framed by the Andes, and is Argentina's best-known base for lake-and-mountain travel. Within easy reach of the resort, owners and guests can take in panoramic views from Cerro Campanario, drive the Circuito Chico loop past Lago Perito Moreno and Nahuel Huapi, explore the forests and trails of Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, or spend an afternoon in the city centre among its Swiss-influenced architecture, chocolate shops and craft markets. The region shifts with the seasons — ski slopes and winter sports from June to August, hiking and water sports from December to February, and quieter, mild conditions in spring and autumn.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your week at La Cascada Casa Patagonica by Don, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as an owner-to-owner sale or rental. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers only pay a one-time listing fee to post the ad.

Because this is an independent resort, resales typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort's management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these vary by property and aren't published figures. It's also worth confirming in writing whether the RCI affiliation transfers automatically to a new owner or needs to be re-registered, and whether any points or banked weeks currently in your account will carry over — resale buyers usually take on the deeded or leased interval itself but not necessarily any exchange credits already used or banked.

Renters, for their part, are generally looking for confirmed dates, a clear description of the unit (bedrooms, sleeping capacity, lake or mountain outlook if known), and a straightforward point of contact — all of which you control when listing directly.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Getting to Bariloche is most practical by air: Bariloche International Airport is roughly a two-hour flight from Buenos Aires, while the overland drive takes around 24 hours. If you hold your week through RCI points or a deposited week, check availability and any deposit deadlines in the exchange system well ahead of your trip. Mountain weather can change quickly even in summer, so pack layers regardless of season, and a few Spanish phrases go a long way in shops and restaurants outside the main tourist areas.
