Introducing Junín de Los Andes

A much more humble affair than other Lake District towns, Junín’s a favorite for fly fishers – the town deems itself the trout capital of Neuquén province and, to drive the point home, uses trout-shaped street signs. A couple of circuits leading out of town take in the scenic banks of the Lago Huechulafquen, where Mapuche settlements welcome visitors. Outside of peak season, these circuits are best done by private vehicle (or incredibly enthusiastic bike riders), but travel agents based here offer reasonably priced tours.
