Urban area

Our young mountain city, placed in the midst of the Andes and on the coast of Lacar Lake has turned into the main tourist destination in the Province of Neuquén due to its permanent growth.

Within 14.000 hectares of the city area, there are the main offices of Lanín National Park, one of the largest preserved areas in the country.

An estimated permanent population of 35.000 and a privileged environment allow activities such as sport fishing and hunting, mountaineering, trekking, camping, rafting and agro-tourism, amongst others, ensuring an unforgettable stay for the visitor.

At 640 meters above sea level, it is located in the Wet Patagonian Andes, featuring mountains covered by dense native woods, crystal water streams and huge biodiversity, which all in all contributes to its high environmental quality.

The level of our accommodation, the flavors of local restaurants, the delicate details of our crafts, the starry nights and a permanent feeling of amazement feed daily those tourists who, permanently and in increasing amounts, choose our city as their holiday destination.
