Valle Encantado (RN 237)

Neuquén

This is a journey into the imagination because, in this valley, you can find rocks that look like castles, Gothic cathedrals, lions, trains, and even birds. Rumour has it that there is also “God’s finger”.

Amid earth-coloured hills and grey rock faces, some cypresses, willows, and poplars rise up as the Limay River skirts the road with its bright colours. Hares, foxes, guanacos, and more wild animals coexist in this paradise –even Andean condors fly over the sky guarding the landscape.

Whether you are arriving in or saying goodbye to Bariloche, this scenic route will dazzle you with its beauty every time you take it.
