Villa La Angostura
 This
rural area was populated in 1934 by a few but influential people
like Primo Capraro and Ezequiel Bustillo.
The following year the town was laid out and in 1937 the land was
plotted by public bid.
Summer houses were built slowly in the sector near the Peninsula
de Quetrihué, under strict building standards, where
the Bosque de Arrayanes
is located.
 Later,
this area was displaced by the El Cruce borough, that grew by the
route to San Carlos
de Bariloche (90 km.), San Martín de Los Andes (110 km.)
and the crossing point to Chile Antonio Samoré (Ex Puyehue).
With the arrival of paved roads this tourist town grew to reach
today´s population of approximately 5,000.
It is a beautiful place, peaceful and nature everywhere. In winter
the Cerro Bayo Ski Center
offers full skiing facilities.
