SEVEN LAKES ROUTE

Neuquen - Argentina - 112 km

The Seven Lakes Route, which runs between Villa La Angostura and San Martín de los Andes, is considered one of the most scenic drives in Argentina.
Fully paved and featuring gentle gradients, it becomes an inviting experience to explore by bicycle.

The Experiences of the Seven Lakes Route
-Visit more than 15 viewpoints overlooking the stunning glacial lakes along the route
-Feel the speed of long downhill stretches on paved roads surrounded by green valleys
-Sleep in tents on the shores of Lake Pichi Traful under a sky full of stars
-Enjoy two lunches on crystal-clear beaches
-Ride through two National Parks
-Each of the lakes we encounter is a clear reminder of the glaciers that once shaped these vast valleys, now covered by forests of lenga and ñire trees.
-The proposal includes visiting each of the seven lakes visible from the route, adding two more lakes for overnight stays and lunches.
-Nine lakes in two days and 110 km of paved road make this a truly unique cycling experience.
-Within this program, a third day is dedicated to enjoying simple trails in the surroundings of San Martín de los Andes and Lanín National Park.
