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.
The hotels in the area are varied and there are excellent restaurants and grills where you can eat the famous Patagonian lamb. It is a beautiful lakeside town located on the shores of Lacar Lake and you can go fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, climbing, rafting, take part in agrotourism, among many other things. The town was founded in February 4, 1898. The Plaza San Martín is the historic core of the city and it is from there that the streets spread out from. There is a monument to General San Martin in the center and a lot of trees to all sides, including centenarians araucarias that still stand and other ornamental species. There are many civic and cultural events carried out here like the Trabun, a Mapuche event that takes place every year. This event takes place during the month of December bringing together musicians from Argentina and Chile. Throughout the year there are several craft fairs and local retailers that bring in fine fruits, sweets, dried flowers and other goods from local producers. You can reach this area by plain, accessed through Chapelco Airport, which is about 22 km from the urban center. Surrounding the square and the surrounding area are the main public buildings, many with great historical and architectural value. The address and phone are the same as the Municipality of San Martin de los Andes.
