Villa Pehuenia: a picturesque tourist village See map

The existence of this beautiful village does not have much time. It began with the sale of building lots at low prices by government to promote this area almost unknown and slowly began to appear the first buildings. The location has an exceptional beauty: the lake Aluminé on Provincial Route No. 13, 70 km from Aluminé.

The town stretches along the coast of the lake and has superb affordable hotel offering and restaurants and cafes for all tastes.
