Seven Lakes Route

Connecting San Martín de los Andes and Villa la Angostura, the Seven Lakes Route (Ruta 234) wanders 120 kilometers through a series of nine lakes. It is currently a dirt road in the process of being paved. The narrow, two-lane road is bordered with lush, dense old growth and leads to various campgrounds as well as a giant religious retreat. The drive is more enjoyable in the summer and the route can be a bit treacherous in winter. Be sure to enquire with both villages (San Martín and Villa La Angostura) on status of the road; sometimes only one side will be open. This is also one of the two ways to access Villa Traful using Ruta 65.
