Route of the 7 Lakes and walking the trails of Lago Puelo [Own infographics]

This infographic has been created to give a panoramic idea of what it means to visit the so-called Route of the 7 Lakes.

It is very difficult for those who visit this region of Argentine Patagonia to resist the temptation of traveling the Route of the 7 Lakes, famous all over the world for the wonder of its landscapes.

A splendor of nature that makes us stop the car not seven but countless times to admire a landscape so dazzling and of such a touching virginity, where there are no tourist resorts (in fact to rest you have to do it generally in Villa La Angostura or San Martin de los Andes) both end points of the route distant 110 kms from each other.

In the lakes there are camping and camping areas in general, but there are no hotels or establishments where to stay, so as not to alter with construction and mass tourism, the charm and naturalness of the region.

Some decades ago this stretch of road was not yet asphalted and for that reason it was called Camino de los 7 Lagos, today it is perfectly signposted and asphalted and it is a natural area protected by law, frequented by tourists from all over the landscape.

Normally the route is traveled in the direction San Martin de los Andes-Villa La Angostura because the panoramic viewpoints are on the edge of the road on the right side coming from that direction and are more comfortable for those traveling in the car.

We (my wife, Zeze the little pet toy and the writer) visited each Lake doing the opposite itinerary and for that reason many times we were forced to cross the road, with our eyes wide open because there are very close curves surrounded by mountains that obstruct the view of the road.

A simply wonderful trip and recommended to all those who love nature.

See you next time!
