Tip
The water in Lake Nahuel Huapi is
very cold year-round so you'd do better
to swim in one of the smaller lakes in
the park. Many of them have small
beach strips.

The fishing season starts in November
so plan accordingly. Trout and salmon
are among the most common catches.

Isla Victoria & Quetrihue Peninsula
Isla Victoria (Victoria Island), a long narrow
island in Lake Nahuel Huapi, is a popular stop.
Reached by catamarans which leave from
either the municipal dock or Puerto Pañuelo at
Llao-Llao, the island is interesting for the vari-
ety of trees growing there. Brought from all
over the world, they flourish here in a unique
forest. The northern tip of the island has a for-
est of
arrayanes
(myrtle trees)
.
These rare trees
are twisted and have orange trunks with bark
22043.
Plan on long
days. In the
summer time, it
stays light out
until 10:30 pm.
The sun sets at
5 pm in the win-
ter.
