Spend the day floating on the Collon Cura, Alumine or Chimehuin rivers. Choice of conditions ranges from big and slow flowing to fast waters with draping willows, ideal for dry fly fishing using small dry flies and large attractors. You'll also wade the runs, using small streamers. Or, choose to wade fish on the Malleo, Quilquihue or Chimehuin rivers. The Malleo and Quilquihue are small, versatile rivers. You'll find fish pools, runs and pocket water for rainbow, brown and salmon trout.

Our region is also becoming a world-class golf destination. Chapelco Golf Resort, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course just a few kilometers from our door, draws visitors from around the world. El Desafio, a new course designed by Greg Norman, is under construction. And, we were thrilled to have Mr. Norman stay with us when he was in San Martin de los Andes.

We have been raising horses since colonial times, and a slow-paced ride through the Chapelco mountain trails is still one of the best ways to experience the natural beauty of the Argentine Patagonia. Each path has a story to tell, and your heart can't help but open wide to the breathtaking mountain vistas.

Guests who prefer a faster pace can choose from several mountain bike trails nearby. Spend half a day, a full day or more pedaling to deep-blue lakes and through mountain forests, a tour de Argentina that will invigorate both body and soul.

Popular nature tours include a private 4X4 excursion up the seven lakes road to La Angostura for lunch and shopping for handicrafts made by the local native tribes, and private boat cruises sailing through the beautiful scenery of Nahuel Huapi National Park and the ancient Arrayanes forest.

Exploring our local hiking trails offer a variety of natural wonders. Volcanoes and plains, rivers and thermal springs, birds and animals, even native communities and rainforests are all part of the Patagonian trekking experience. Spectacular views at every turn bring peace to visitors looking for an escape from the hurry of life and an adventure through nature.

Colorful plumage and melodic songs bring joy and enchantment to both dedicated and casual birdwatchers. A variety of woodpeckers, geese, swallows and thrush provide incredible photo opportunities, as well as exotic parakeets and flamingos and stately condors. A world-class birding experience waits, so bring your camera and your curiosity!

Our rivers give many things, including the thrills of white-water rafting through pristine forests and mountain passes. Plan a full day shooting the rapids or combine a multi-activity trip with mountain biking or trekking to create a memory you'll treasure forever.

If you listen hard enough, you can almost hear the breeze, the birds and the soft slap of the paddles in the water. Canoeing our seven sparkling lakes and many rivers provides fresh air, sunshine and a peace that cannot be described.

Feel like a superhero? Fly through the treetops down hillsides on canopy lines while your heart races with excitement. If your perfect vacation includes a dose of extreme adrenalin in an awe-inspiring natural setting, we can provide that, too!
