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.

Amazing walk, especially on a clear day - view at top incredible. Easy to park at start 14km outside of San Martin de Los Andes. 5km up and then again down (10km total). Approx half the walk is shaded by trees. Map and profile at start of walk. See pic. Km 1 - easy - across a field. 2 fairly steep 3-4 STEEP Flattens in places later on At top is small shelter in case of wind. Spectacular views 360 Two of us are fit-ish. Aged 40-50 and took 3.5 hours total with a few breaks. Absolutely worth doing. Very well marked and prepared trail. Maps.me app also useful as a back up.
