Villa Traful: the hidden village among forests and the mirror lake
This beautiful and idyllic mountain village is located within Nahuel Huapi National Park, in the province of Neuquén, Argentina. It is a true refuge of peace that stands out for its wooden and stone constructions perfectly integrated with nature. Its main attraction is the imposing Traful Lake, famous for its crystal-clear waters and a unique phenomenon in the world: the Submerged Forest, where about sixty cypress trees rest underwater and can be seen through diving or boat excursions. Additionally, its natural viewpoints, hidden waterfalls, and fly fishing make it the best-kept secret of the Andean Patagonia.
