Embark on an unforgettable journey to discover the magic and incomparable tranquility of Villa La Angostura, one of the most beautiful towns in the Andes. The adventure begins by traveling along the mythical Route forty, crossing the Limay River which serves as a natural border into the Neuquen province.

During the tour you will visit the main dock at Puerto Angostura, famous for its incredible panoramic landscapes of Lake Nahuel Huapi. You will also see El Messidor, an elegant French-style castle built by architect Alejandro Bustillo, which today serves as the official residence for the provincial government. Nearby is the Capilla de La Asuncion, a gem of mountain architecture made of wood and stone that houses beautiful Italian stained glass and a historic original eighteenth-century painting brought from Cuzco.
Finally, the itinerary includes a visit to Cerro Bayo, a prominent ski resort surrounded by virgin forest that offers spectacular views of the lake and features extensive skiable areas. After a truly unique day filled with Patagonian nature, culture, and history, you will head back to your starting point, taking unforgettable memories of this picturesque Andean region with you.
