Spread
haphazardly along the northern shore of Lago Nahuel Huapi,
Villa la Angostura
is a relaxed but expensive holiday
town that caters mainly for better-off Argentinians. Though
the area has plenty of outdoor possibilities, the main reason
for
overnighting here is to see the Bosque de los Arrayanes in
the Parque Nacional Quetrihué. From here too, the Ruta de
Los Siete Lagos heads north to San Martín de los Andes.
In winter, there's skiing on the slopes of Cerro Bayo, 10km
to the northeast of the village.
The town is actually divided into two main settlements: El
Cruce ("The Crossroads") is the first you'll come
across, being built around the main RN231 - called Avenida
Siete Lagos at its western end and Avenida Los Arrayanes,
the main commercial street, from Bariloche to the east -
while
La Villa is next to the national park entrance, 3km south
down the Boulevard Nahuel Huapi spur road. These three roads
converge
on the ACA service station in El Cruce. The bus terminal
is a block west of ACA, on Avenida Siete Lagos. Hostels in Villa la Angostura |
