Cabalgatas del Tero

Salidas para ver Villa La Angostura desde los lugares mas privilegiados.Las cabalgatas se realizan en territorio del Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi (PNNH), por lo que cabalgaremos, no sólo por la montaña, sino por tierras de un Parque Nacional, en una zona de extrema belleza donde habitan distintas especies de flora y fauna en su estado natural.

Cerros Negro & Monje Trail

Reviewed By Naturaldog - New Haven, United States

~3700 feet (~1100 meters) of net vertical ascent. ~22 km round trip.Lots of volcanic sand/ash and loose rocks on the trail. Footing is not very good in a number of places, especially near the top. Trail is poorly marked in a number of places. A very good idea to have the Maps.me gps app installed on your cellphone. The trail is noted on map.me, which was very helpful to me when I got lost (despite perfect weather), which I did, 4 or 5 times. 2 hours 20 mins for me to ascend, including 2-3 stops to empty volcanic ash from low-cut hiking sneakers. The descent took about 3 hours, mainly because I lost the trail 3-4 times. Best to wear shoes that come up above the ankles to keep sand/ash and small rocks out. This is NOT a hike to do in marginal or bad weather. You will lose the trail, almost certainly. Others have written that the water near the top is drinkable. I would not advise this. Grazing animals, and evidence thereof, is everywhere. Best to bring your own water. I brought 3 liters on a cool day (22 C max), and I ran out of water with an hour still to go to get back to the car. This peak is known for very high winds that can come up suddenly. Be prepared. Enjoy! Not to be missed if the weather cooperates. Great views, solitude, majesty. Just wear the right shoes and bring plenty of water!

Sendero al Mirador Bandurrias

Reviewed By Europamonkey - London, United Kingdom

This is a fairly easy walk up to a great viewpoint above Lake Lácar. It is clearly signposted from the end of the lakeside beach in the town, and starts incongruously beside the sewage works. It is uphill, but is fairly easy to follow the well trodden path. Other pathways lead off but stick to the main track, signposted at one point to La Islita. Almost at the top, there is a kiosk run by the local community, at which a 15 peso per person charge is levied to go on through their private land to the viewpoint. They also sell refreshments. Good walking footwear is recommended, as much for the way down as going up. The views at the top are fantastic, and well worth the calorie burning trek up. The path continues from the kiosk down to the beach...but what goes down must come back up.
