We were barely a week into our road trip through southern Argentina but it felt like we had been together a lot longer. When we started it, we were 14 strangers but after a few days, we were all friends. The good mood you get from being on the road is contagious, so it was impossible to have a bad time in that context. Every time we had to move from place to place, it was all a commotion, because of the fact that we were going to discover what we could do in the new city. Our third stop was scheduled in Villa La Angostura, one of the most beautiful cities in the province of Neuquén, and as expected, we also had some beautiful days getting to know the surroundings ❤️.
Apenas había pasado una semana de nuestro viaje itinerante por el sur de Argentina pero se sentía como si hubiésemos estado juntos un montón de tiempo más. Cuando lo empezamos, éramos 14 desconocidos pero después de unos días, ya eramos todos amigos. El buen humor que te da estar de viaje es contagioso, así que era imposible pasarla mal en ese contexto. Cada vez que nos tocaba movernos de lugar era todo un revuelo, por el hecho de ir a descubrir que podríamos hacer en la nueva ciudad. Nuestra tercera parada estaba programada en Villa La Angostura, una de las ciudades más lindas de la provincia de Neuquén, y como era de esperarse, también tuvimos unos hermosos días conociendo los alrededores ❤️.
That time, our motorhome had to park in front of a square, only two blocks away from the main avenue. This location was very convenient because we were close to the center and to a gas station, which was what we were always looking for to use the public showers and restrooms. The city of Villa La Angostura has a very beautiful aesthetic of wooden buildings and everything decorated with roses that in its peak season, fill the landscape with colors. If I would have to highlight something negative is that most things are expensive in this area because of how touristy it is, but even so it does not stop being crowded all the time 😊.
Esa vez, a nuestro motorhome le tocó estacionar en el frente de una plaza, a solo dos calles de la avenida principal. Está ubicación era muy cómoda porque estábamos cerca del centro y de una estación de servicio, que era lo que siempre buscábamos para usar las duchas públicas y los baños. La ciudad de Villa La Angostura tiene una estética muy hermosa de construcciones en madera y todo adornado con rosas que en su máxima temporada, llenan de colores el paisaje. Si tendría que destacar algo negativo es que la mayoría de las cosas son costosas en esta zona por lo turística que es, pero aún así no deja de estar concurrida todo el tiempo 😊.
After a week of travel, we needed to get a laundry room to get our clothes back in condition. We took advantage of the morning to go in search of one, and on our way back we used our free time to go for a short walk. In Villa La Angostura there are many things to do and several of them are close by, so if you like to be on foot you can visit a few of them. There are also different trekkings available, as well as public transportation to move around, so it's impossible to get bored here 🙂 .
Después de una semana de viaje, necesitábamos conseguir un lavadero para volver a tener nuestra ropa en condiciones. Aprovechamos la mañana para ir en busca de uno, y de regreso usamos nuestro tiempo libre para hacer una pequeña caminata. En Villa La Angostura hay muchas cosas para hacer y varias de ellas quedan cerca, así que si te gusta estar a pie podés visitar unos cuantos. También hay distintos trekkings disponibles, además de transporte público para moverte, por lo que aburrirte por acá es imposible 🙂.
On our morning walk we decided to go to the area of the bays, 2 km away from where our motorhome was parked. This is one of the most touristy and beautiful areas close to the center, so there are always a lot of people coming and going. This place has the particularity of being a small strait between two beautiful bays, so there are two different beaches to spend the day, separated only by about 100 meters. In the area you can also find the entrance to Los Arrayanes National Park, as well as restaurants, public restrooms, kayak rentals and nautical tour services ❣️.
En nuestro paseo matutino decidimos ir a la zona de las bahías, distantes a 2 km de dónde estaba estacionado nuestro motorhome. Esta es una de las zonas más turísticas y hermosas cercanas al centro, por lo que siempre hay bastante gente yendo y viniendo. Este lugar tiene la particularidad de ser un pequeño estrecho entre dos bahías hermosas, por lo que hay dos playas diferentes para pasar el día, separadas solo por unos 100 metros. En la zona también se puede encontrar el ingreso al Parque Nacional Los Arrayanes, así como también restaurantes, baños públicos, alquiler de kayaks y servicios de paseos náuticos ❣️.
Regarding the bays, the traditional tour is to visit both bays and if it is within your means, to sail in one of them. In July 2024 the nautical tours cost 40,000 ARS ($30 approx), so we decided to visit them on foot. These two bays are called Bahia Mansa and Bahia Brava, very peculiar names as they are two opposite adjectives (Mansa refers to calm and Brava to rowdy). The first one we visited is Bahia Mansa, which offers a long pier to go for a walk and sit and contemplate the scenery ❤️.
Con respecto a las bahías, el paseo tradicional es visitar ambas y si está dentro de tus posibilidades, navegar en alguna de ellas. En julio 2024 los paseos náuticos costaban 40.000 ARS ($30 aprox), por lo que mejor decidimos recorrerlas a pie. Estás dos bahías se llaman Bahía Mansa y Bahía Brava, unos nombres muy peculiares ya que son dos adjetivos opuestos (Mansa hace referencia a calmada y Brava a alborotada). La primera que visitamos es la Bahía Mansa, que ofrece un largo muelle para ir a caminar un poco y sentarse a contemplar el paisaje ❤️.
That bay is my favorite, so we spent more time there. Then, we took a look at Brava Bay: just by crossing the street, you could already be on the neighboring beach. There are also boat trips from here, although the pier is not open to the public like the one at Bahía Mansa. However, sitting on the shore to spend the day in this beautiful landscape is also a good plan. What I like about this beach is that the water is crystal clear along much of the shore and gradually turns into a deep blue color ✨.
Esa bahía es mi preferida, por lo que pasamos más tiempo ahí. Luego, echamos un vistazo a la Bahía Brava: con solo atravesar la calle, ya podías estar en la playa vecina. Desde acá también salen paseos náuticos, aunque el muelle no está abierto al público como el de la Bahía Mansa. Sin embargo, sentarse en la costa a pasar el día en ese paisaje hermoso también es un buen plan. Lo que me gusta de esta playa es que el agua es cristalina en gran parte de la orilla y poco a poco se va transformando en un color azul intenso ✨.
By the time we finished our walk at the end of the day, it was time to pick up our clean clothes. Visiting the area of the bays in Villa La Angostura is a good option for a close walk to get a glimpse of all the beautiful things the village has to offer. This is just a little bit of the incredible scenery that southern Argentina has to offer, so whenever I have the opportunity to return, I fly. You could never get tired of seeing landscapes as perfect as these ❤️.
Para cuando terminamos de dar nuestro paseo al fin del día, ya se hizo la hora para ir a retirar nuestra ropa limpia. Visitar la zona de las bahías en Villa La Angostura es una buena opción para un paseo cercano y llevarse un vistazo de todo lo hermoso que la villa tiene para ofrecer. Esto es apenas un poquito de los paisajes increíbles que tiene el sur de Argentina, por lo que siempre que tengo la oportunidad de volver, vuelo. Nunca podrías cansarte de estar viendo unos paisajes tan perfectos como esos ❤️.
