Lake Mari Menuco
Take Route 7 towards the north. After 20 km. you will be in Vista Alegre, from
here 45 km later you will reach Lake Mari Menuco that, together with
Lake Los Barreales form a lacustrian complex. These natural basins were
filled with a dam in the Neuquén River with the purpose of economic and
tourist exploitation.
