My travel goals 8 of 23: Neuquén the capital of southern Argentina.
We did this trip in the fall of last year after going to Bariloche, in Río Negro. To get there we did the so-called "Road of the Seven Lakes", on Route 40. This route crosses almost all of Argentina (before this trip I had no idea about this). If you want to see more images of Route 40 and its landscapes, you can visit @patagonian-nomad's in HIVE blog, who made a great trip traveling it .
Neuquén the capital of southern Argentina.
On this journey I saw the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. I just couldn't believe that those places were real and right before my eyes.
San Martin de los Andes.
San Martín de los Andes is a city that is located on the shores of Lake Nacar. It is a very quiet place, or so it seemed to us when we went.
Everything was beautiful, but we were surprised by the respect for pedestrians they have.
We actually put one foot on the street and the vehicles would stop and let you cross. Something never seen before in Buenos Aires .
La Islita, a small island with a unique history.
Then we went to "La Islita". It was literally a little island. I have a very funny anecdote.
Not wanting to ask anyone how to get there, we looked for the way on Google Maps and it threw us a route that said it lasted two hours on foot.
As we were in good physical condition, we said "okay, two hours walking will not be a problem for us."
So we set off and actually walked two hours there. We had a lot of fun on the way because we went through forests and laughed at the experience.
When we finally got to "La Islita", we saw that there was a shorter way to get to the center of the city and it literally took 15 minutes to get back because it was much more direct.
It was obviously a shortcut that didn't appear on the map.
We couldn't believe it. Anyway, we had the anecdote to tell our friends .
A beautiful place also in autumn.
This place was really beautiful.
As we went in Autumn there was no snow, but I would like to return to see what the city is like when it is covered in white.

Mountains, lakes, crystal-clear rivers, and spectacular forests are the essence of the Seven Lakes Route, a 110-km stretch of National Route 40 between San Martín de los Andes and Villa La Angostura, passing through Lanín and Nahuel Huapi national parks.
ReplyDeleteThe route can be completed in two hours, but it's worth stopping at the viewpoints and making short detours to reach other lakes, whether for a day trip or a camping trip.
The beauty of Neuquén province lies in its stunning Patagonian landscapes, such as the scenic Route of the Seven Lakes, and its rich Mapuche culture. It offers a variety of activities, from admiring waterfalls and mountains to exploring its culinary heritage with trout and regional products, in addition to Caviahue-Copahue's recent recognition as one of the most beautiful towns in the world.
