Lago Nahuel Huapi

Reviewed By ruthandvern - Wilton, United States

We have an AirBnB condo on Playa Centenario with the best views possible. We've walked the lakeside down to Playa Centro, where the main pier is located. Today we were able to watch a lake swim. It's about a mile by water, most swam round trip but some exited here. Wet suits of course. The temperatures run 55-59 (f), although the locals swim here. The water is crystal clear and it must be great to have a sail boat or any boat to explore the vast reaches of this lake.

Cerro Piltriquitron

Reviewed By stefand404 - Arlon, Belgium

The hike to the summit gets very steep in the last km, and the trail is very slippery because of the mud/gravel mixture. Go there with good hiking shoes and good physical condition. The view is breathtaking, and people with vertigo could feel uncomfortable given the cliffs and very steep sections (DO NOT FORGET to register at the refugio before climbing. DO NOT FORGET to go and tell the refugio manager when you are back from the summit, otherwise he will have to go up there to look for you...). The refugio is a wonderful place to get some excellent home-made food and beer. You can also sleep in a dorm for a reasonable price (around 300 pesos a night). The guy (Rodolpho if I remember well) who manages the refugio is very nice and you can have a chat with him about life in the mountains. He knows it all about the place and will be happy to inform you. The place has a great athmosphere, so do not miss the opportunity to stop there. Access: if you have a car, you can drive up to the "plataforma" 1 km under the Bosque Tallado. Be warned that the road to get there is in terrible condition and very steep. We have seen some guys with Renault Clio and similar 2WD drive up there, but we felt way safer in our 4WD. Have a wonderful hike!

Parque Municipal Llao Llao

Reviewed By Craig_Tapper - Sydney, Australia

There are a number of trails - some quite demanding (such as the trail to Villa Tacul/Cero Llalo). However the one that leads down to Lago Perito Moreno) is gentle, accessible for most fitness levels and surrounded by beautiful trees and scenery. You arrive at a lovely little beach (Playa) with some wonderful scenes of snow c capped mountains. Definitely a great way to get some exercise.
