Big Circuit & La Angostura, English Guide

An excursion to discover crystalline lakes and ancient forests. We leave from Bariloche along the iconic National Route 40, crossing streams and rivers. As we cross the western end of Nahuel Huapi Lake, the Limay River welcomes us and marks the limit between the provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén.
We enter the Newbery pampa, a vast territory that leads us towards Rincón Chico. From there, we skirt the Limay River until we reach Rincón Grande, home of the impressive natural Amphitheater, whose rock formations are reminiscent of an ancient Roman coliseum.
The journey continues towards the Enchanted Valley, where the whimsical shapes of the rocks seem straight out of a story. At Confluencia, we will witness the meeting of the Traful and Limay rivers.
Following the course of the Traful River, we go through a coihue forest to the Traful viewpoint, a natural balcony with panoramic views of the lake. After visiting the charming Villa Traful, we advance towards Puerto Arrayán and the El Portezuelo area, where we join the famous Route of the 7 Lakes.
Between dense forests, we border Lake Espejo until we reach the picturesque Villa La Angostura. Here, you will have time to have lunch (lunch not included) and explore its shopping center. Later, we head to the port and visit the quiet Mansa and Brava bays, as well as the historic El Mesidor Residence.
On the way back, we skirt the Huemul Arm of Lake Nahuel Huapi, crossing the Huemul Peninsula with breathtaking views. Finally, we take RN 237 to return to Bariloche, the land of lakes and mountains.
