San Martín de Los Andes

Follow the Seven Lakes Road, cross the dense and enormous forest bordering Lake Correntoso, then cross the river of the same name that continues along the Lagos Villarino, Falkner, Hermoso and Meliquimia to reach the town of San Martin de los Andes. It is located on the shores of the beautiful Lacar Lake. San Martin de los Andes is a town of roughly 40,000 inhabitants, and is about 40 km from the border with Chile. The landscape is similar to a pocket in that it is protected from the wind, yet here it is quite different from other places. It is very warm, with wooden buildings, some of which look very rustic.
