Cerro Bayo
Emblem of Villa La Angostura, since 1978, the Mount Bayo frames its ski resort inside a beautiful natural landscape. Surrounded by forests and with a majestic view of Lake Nahuel Huapi, it is very close to the mountain village and it offers 200 hectares for the practice of alpine skiing, with a 700-meter vertical drop.
Bayo represents an appropriate environment for beginners and advanced skiers, who can count on 22 signaled runs and 12 lifts. Good black runs, deep snow in the ravine and matchless off-piste runs that go through untouched forests from the summit to the base.
In a privileged natural environment, the La Angostura hotel infrastructure and gastronomy, conjugated with the family atmosphere of the Mount Bayo, guarantee excellent winter vacations with the practice of skiing.

Rafting
Rafting is a team sport, in which all the crew members in the boat row and position themselves in a coordinated manner in order to balance their weight when going through the river rapids and keep themselves afloat.
The standard number of people allowed on the boat is from six to eight crew members, depending on the boat size.
Rafting beginners are recommended to remain in the center of the boat. Those who are somehow experienced and prefer to row may stay in front, whereas the most experienced generally stay at the back.
Horseback Excursions
Those who wish to experiment something new may choose a horseback ride over mountains, amidst forests, along beaches or across streams with the whole family enjoying beautiful moments.
It is ideal to go on these excursions guided by the local experts and on docile Creole horses.
If you are going on a short excursion, it is not necessary that you can ride. A quick theoretical chat with the guide will be enough for you to get used to the reins.
