Villa La Angostura is situated at the south
of the Neuquen province, on the north margin of the Nahuel
Huapi Lake at 780 metres above sea level. The city hall
area has 7960 hectares and is head of the Los Lagos district
in the Andean Patagonia. Only 45 km from the border with
Chile, 82 km away from San Carlos de Bariloche, and 110
km from San Martin de los Andes, by the 7 Lagos Route.
It was founded on May 15th, 1932, when the Radio-telegraph
Office was created in the current local port area. In
1945, a Comisión de Fomento (Promotion Commission) was
formed. Situated at the centre of the lakes of the Nahuel
Huapi National Park, it is connected to the Quetrihue
Peninsula, at the entrance of the Arrayanes National Park
(myrtle), where the only pure forest of this cinnamon-barked
tree in the whole Planet can be seen. Nahuel Huapi lake
with its varied bays, peninsulas and islands, is the most
important one in the lake area with 550 km2 (the same
size as Buenos Aires Autonomous City), at 764 metres above
sea level and with a depth of up to 450 metres.
This mountain village has some 12000 people and some small
and important hotel complexes, where the personal care
of their owners and the kindness of people, make VLA a
unique Tourist Centre. It is surrounded by a privileged
landscape, with no pollution. The four seasons are very
well distinguished, with changing natural scenery in flora
and fauna colours.
In summer, from November and up to April,
there is the trout fishing season: (Arco Iris, Marrón,
Fontinalis) in the Espejo, Nahuel Huapi and Correntoso
Lakes. Fly fishing is in the well-known Correntoso River
-the shortest of the world- and many sporting and amusing
activities can be performed. In winter, the main attraction
is Cerro Bayo, a snow and ski centre where main sporting
and amusing activities are carried out both for beginners
and experts.
Cerro Bayo can be visited and enjoyed all
year through due to its fantastic panoramic views and
the sporting events there performed. Fishing, skiing,
snowboarding, rafting, mountain bike, trekking and four
wheel tracks are only some of the options for your adventure
holidays in the Village. The idea is to fully enjoy nature
and sport.
Nguillatún in Villa La Angostura
To get to Nguillatun Cabins from Bariloche, pass through
the commercial area and the "Cruce" (the crossing point
where the Automovil Club Argentino is). Turn to your right,
that is 7 Lagos Route or Route 231. As soon as you turn
right you will see the bus terminal and, to your left,
the Tourism Secretary. Go straight on, pass by a YPF gas
station, continue up to the 64,200 km. You will see a
totem showing you that our cabins are 150 metres to your
right.
Coming from San Martin de los Andes by the
7 Lagos Route, you will find a place where routes meet
showing you two alternatives; one is to Chile and the
other to Villa La Angostura and Bariloche. Take this latter
one, cross the Correntoso River and only 1000 metres afterwards
a totem will show you that our cabins are to your left.
