/// The Argentine south has beautiful places, but, undoubtedly, this is one of our favorite in the
world. In the province of Neuquén, exactly in the department of Los Lagos, there it is Espejo
Lake, a backwater of absolute peace and a gift for our eyes.
Although every lake in this region is absolutely beautiful, our favorite one has a very particular
charm from which it takes its name: its quiet and clear waters perfectly reflect the image of
tress and the sky, replicating its beauty.
Sublime landscape, for two
We get up early to start the famous and charming Seven Lakes´Road. We went to Villa
Langostura and from there we had to travel about 20 kilometers to reach Espejo Lake. The
weather couldn´t have been better, and that helped to fully appreciate the reflection effect.
Having gotten up so early had its reward: by arriving early, there were a few people in the area,
therefore we could enjoy this magnificent place in solitude. Although we both knew the lake,
going together for the first time, as a couple, made the experience more romantic.
And as if the nature wasn´t enough, a picturesque dock completed the landscape. From the
beach and towards the interior of the lake, it extends a long wooden path, which invited us to
relaxingly follow it, to take some nice photos and to closely watch the reflection effect.
Visiting the place is a great opportunity to fully be in contact with nature and, if it is possible,
to stay to spend most of the day. Undoubtedly, one of those experiences that fill both the body
and soul with unforgettable sensations.
How to reach?
Espejo Lake is found in the Seven Lakes´ Road, between San Martin de Los Andes and Villa
La Angostura, province of Neuquén. The road is well defined, however we recommend to
have the destinations well marked in a map to find it easily. Unlike most of the other lakes,
the access to Espejo Lake is not on the National Route N°40, but you have to divert about 200
meters to reach the public parking place of the beach.
Where should you stay to take this tour?
The best option is to stay in Villa La Angostura, San Martín de Los Andes or Bariloche. All
these places are relatively close, and driving along these roads won´t be stressful at all.
Our recommendation:
Whether on a tour or excursion, you will enjoy the place. The ideal to take this tour is to go
with your own means of transport , you can take any time you want to marvel at this amazing
landscape, and, what is more, to spend the whole day there.
