Bariloche is the gateway to northern Patagonia, offering daily inbound flights from all over Argentina. Once you arrive in Bariloche, you can pick up your rental car and do the 1-hour and 20-minute drive to Villa La Angostura along Ruta 40. Alternatively, you can catch a bus from the Bariloche Airport or the Bariloche Bus Terminal, which is what we did. Route of the Seven Lakes The Road of the Seven Lakes, also known as La Ruta de Los Siete Lagos in Spanish, is one of those day trips you can’t miss! This is a scenic 107-kilometre drive that stretches from the town of Villa La Angostura in the south to the town of San Martín de Los Andes in the north. It’s a beautiful journey that goes past snow-capped mountains, dense forests and pristine lakes. Plus, it crosses two national parks: Lanín National Park and Nahuel Huapi National Park. Los Arrayanes National Park One of the main things to do in Villa La Angostura is to visit the Arrayanes Forest, which is said to have inspired Disney’s Bambi. This is where you find the arrayán tree, which is easily recognized by its cinnamon-coloured bark. One unusual thing about this tree is that it always feels cool to the touch. This is because its bark is so thin that you can feel the sap inside. Laguna Calafate and Laguna Verde If you’re looking for a bit of nature, but you don’t necessarily want to go too far or do anything too strenuous, you can visit the two lagoons in town. Laguna Calafate is more of a birdwatching spot with bird hides where you can enjoy the local wildlife. Laguna Verde, on the other hand, is a nice place to go for a walk. The trail is called Sendero de las Lumas, and it runs through the forest and follows the lagoon’s shore. Capilla La Asunción Another important attraction in Villa La Angostura is the chapel known as Capilla de la Virgen de la Asunción, which dates back to 1936. The chapel was designed by renowned Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo, perhaps best known as the man behind the iconic Llao Llao Hotel. The chapel is set in a forested area, so it does feel like a taste of Europe, even if it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where! Bahia Mansa vs Bahia Brava Villa La Angostura is a town with two bays: Bahía Mansa, meaning ‘calm bay’, and Bahía Brava, meaning ‘wild bay’. The two bays are divided by the Quetrihué Peninsula, and they are just a 5-minute walk from each other, so you can easily visit them both and see how they live up to their names. Both bays have their own sandy beaches and they’re particularly popular at sunset. Cucu Shulz Our favourite cafe in Villa La Angostura is shaped like a giant cuckoo clock and the walls are covered in cuckoo clocks. Some of the desserts we tried include the apple crumble with raisins, which was a behemoth of a portion; the coconut and dulce de leche tart, which was a wonderful combination of flavours; and the ricotta cake, which was my absolute favourite and a dessert I still dream about! El Esquiador El Esquiador is a great place to try traditional Patagonian dishes. We tried trout and deer dishes, and both were great. We returned to this restaurant multiple times. Where to Stay in Villa La Angostura Now let’s talk about where to stay in Villa La Angostura, because your experience will greatly vary depending on what you choose. First, you have La Villa or ‘the town’, which will put you in a very central location. Alternatively, you have the very desirable Puerto Manzano, which is by the water but a drive into town. #villalaangostura #patagonia #patagoniaargentina * * * * * * * * * * * HOW YOU CAN HELP 🙏 Patreon:   / samuelandaudrey   🧱 Buy us a Brick: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/samuelan... ❤️ Like, share, subscribe and comment so the videos can reach more people. * * * * * * * * * * *
