Things to do
DAY TRIPS
Less than two hours drive north of Villa La Angostura is the town of Mirador Del Traful. From here, a boat will take you to the Bosque Sumergido, where you’ll witness the mysterious spectacle of submerged cypress trees poking up through the water – the result of a wooded mountain slope sliding into the lake three decades ago.
NATURE
Nature lovers won’t be left wanting in this beautiful part of Argentina’s lake district, home to the Los Arrayanes National Park and its extraordinary rare orangey brown coihues and ñires. Rumour has it that these trees inspired the imaginary forest in Walt Disney’s Bambi movie.
ACTIVITIES
The Rio Correntoso is a popular spot for trout fishing. You could also enjoy a gentle hike to the nearby Cascada Inacayal waterfall. Or for something more challenging, climb to the summit of Cerro Bayo for panoramic views over the Arrayanes.
