Attractions and Routes

Los Alerces National Park

A drive to this UNESCO World Heritage site - dense with ancient forests and glacial lakes is a must! Consider adopting the Argentine culture of 'siesta' to your schedule, as routes to popular destinations like these can get congested in the afternoon.
