Day Trip to Villa Pehuenia
Day Trip to Villa Pehuenia
We'll pick you up at 8 am at your hotel in downtown San Martin de los Andes and start touring the province of Neuquen.
Along the way, we'll pass by the town of Aluminé and border the river for almost 100 kilometers (62 miles). We'll enter the famous Pehuenia Circuit, a route framed by a forest of trees known as "pehuén" in the Mapuche language, that connects Lakes Pulmarí, Ñorquinco, Moquehue, and Aluminé.
We'll continue the drive up to the edge of the crater of the Batea Mahuida volcano, an extinct volcano on the border between Argentina and Chile. At almost 2000 meters (6,560 feet) above sea level, we'll go on a short hike around the crater which is now a lagoon filled with crystalline waters. From the summit, you'll be able to see the Moquehue and Aluminé lakes at your feet, as well as the Chilean volcanoes Icalma, Sollipulli, and Villarrica - an unbeatable view!
Once we have descended from the volcano, on the way to Villa Pehuenia, we'll pass through La Angostura, a narrow channel that connects the Aluminé and Moquehue lakes.
Then, already in Villa Pehuenia, we'll visit its various peninsulas and bays, which boast unique and unforgettable landscapes at the foot of the Patagonian Andes. We'll also learn some fascinating fun facts about this village founded in the early 90s. Its buildings are striking for being perfectly integrated into the araucaria forests that extend around it.
Finally, we'll return to San Martín de los Andes. We'll arrive at your hotel in the center of the city around 8 pm.
