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.
A Lanín
Lanín is an ice-clad, cone-shaped stratovolcano on the border of Argentina and Chile.
B Cascada Chachin
Located in Lanín National Park, this 30-meter waterfall is surrounded by dense Valdivian rainforest. A wooden boardwalk leads to a viewpoint overlooking the drop into the Chachín River.
C Domuyo
The Domuyo Volcano is a stratovolcano located in the Argentine province of Neuquén.
D Salto del Agrio
A 35-meter waterfall that plunges into a basaltic canyon. The surrounding rocks are characterized by vibrant orange and yellow hues caused by high concentrations of sulfur and minerals in the Agrio River.

Cascada Río Bonito
A 35-meter waterfall located near Villa La Angostura. It drops over a sheer basalt cliff into a circular emerald pool, accessible via a short forest trail.
Las Olletas
A geothermal site near the base of the Domuyo volcano featuring natural geysers, boiling water pots, and fumaroles emerging from the volcanic soil.
Cueva del León
A natural cave formation located in the arid landscape of central Neuquén.
El bardón
A perennial glacier and snowfield located on the slopes of the Andes, providing a source of meltwater for the surrounding mountain ecosystem.
Cascada la Cabellera de la Virgen
A slender, high-altitude waterfall located near Copahue, named for its long, white appearance as it flows down the dark volcanic rock face.
Cascada Santa Ana
A 40-meter waterfall near the border with Chile. It is notable for the large basalt cavern located directly behind the water curtain.
