Walnor
A cute little restaurant/café/bar overlooking the lake in the center of the village. They serve up tasty sandwiches, fresh trout and spicy empanadas, and an afternoon beer on the deck overlooking the lake is a fine way to end the day.

Ñancú Lahuén
A cute little log cabin set up in the center of the village. Trout dishes are the specialty (try ‘em with the almond sauce), but the menu stretches to parrilla and a good range of salads as well.

Lagunas las Mellizas
Starting with a boat ride across the lake, this trek of moderate difficulty begins with a 2½-hour climb through cypress forests before reaching a lookout with views of the Lagunas Azul and Verde (Blue and Green Lagoons). If you’ve still got the legs for it, fording a stream gets you to an area with a variety of well-preserved Tehuelche rock paintings, dated at around 600 years old.

Cascadas de Arroyo Blanco & Coa Có
These two waterfalls are a moderately easy, two-hour roundtrip walk from town that can be done without a guide. Walk uphill on the street running beside the guardaparque (park ranger) office and follow the signs. From where the path forks at the open field it’s 500m on the left to the 30m-high Coa Có. Return and take the other fork for 1km to the smaller Cascadas de los Arroyos Blancos. Far more spectacular than the actual waterfalls are the lookouts along the way, which give you a bird’s-eye view of the forest, lake and mountains beyond.
