Winter is here to stay and Villa Pehuenia is the ideal place to enjoy it. It is 310 km from Neuquén capital and only 11 km from Chile Nature will invite you to disconnect.
Actually The place is made up of two mountain villages (Villa Pehuenia and Moquehue) that are separated by only 23 km but united by the best landscapes, because they offer lakes, islands and mountains.
«We are on the edge of the Aluminé and Moquehue lakes. We have beautiful beaches. When you get here, nature overwhelms you. Each season has its color and charm. Now “There are snow-capped peaks, and there is a lot to discover,” enthused Eugenia Napolitano, the head of local tourism, in conversation with Río Negro Radio.
10 km from the center is the Batea Mahuida snow park, which many say is ideal for those looking to get started in winter sports.
«It is a small ski center, with few slopes but a lot of proximity to the natural environment. That is why it is considered a snow park. Children can take classes from 4 years old. It is a family, quiet and relaxed space. That’s why “Not only those who want to start but those who already enjoy skiing and other options choose it every year.” the official assured.
However, he explained that, although the snow attracts all attention, it is not the only attraction in the area. “Getting to know the lakes through boat trips, kayak trips or rafting (which is also practiced at this time) is another alternative,” she highlighted. “It is also a good plan to get lost in the contemplation of the araucaria forests, those ancient trees, or enter them with snowshoes.”
Gastronomy deserves a separate chapter. «The Patagonian lamb and the trout are among the must-sees of the destination» the woman assured.
In terms of prices, he stressed that there are options for everyone. «In the case of accommodation, the rates are very variable, because they depend on the location and the associated services. But, On a double basis, a single cabin is available from $45,000,” he reported.
«In the snow park The daily pass is $29,000. If you have to rent equipment, it is between $25,000 and $30,000 for the entire day.” he detailed.
Finally, he said that everything indicates that a good tourist season is coming. «There are many inquiries and there are already reservations» she shared, pleased.
