Merveilles naturelles à Neuquén

Natural Wonders of Neuquén

Neuquén's landscape is defined by the high Andes and intense volcanic activity. This list includes the ice-capped Lanín volcano and Domuyo, the highest peak in Patagonia. Geothermal features like the Las Olletas geysers contrast with glacial elements such as El Bardón. Significant waterfalls, including the mineral-rich Salto del Agrio and the 30-meter Chachín fall, showcase the province's diverse hydrologic systems within the Lanín and Nahuel Huapi National Parks.
