Located on the Northwest of Chubut, 620 kilometers away from the capital of the province, Esquel is a pleasant city, situated on a beautiful valley, surrounded by mountains over 2,000 meters high.
This Patagonian piece of land combines the quietness of remote sites with the splendor of the Andes Mountain Range and the strong presence of the steppe.
Esquel is the entrance gate to a world of tourist attractions: villages, rivers, parks, lakes and mountains make up the Alerces Shire.
It provides comprehensive services in terms of lodging, gastronomy, recreation and transportation. Tourists are irresistibly tempted by regional goods.
As far as the historical wealth of the region is concerned, visitors are strongly attracted by La Trochita, the narrow gauge steam locomotive that even today travels the area as a symbol of a history that is still being written.
Other excursions leaving from downtown combine trail hiking, mountain biking and horse riding across the surrounding hills.
In the winter, visitors can practice ski and snowboarding as they enjoy the best snow in Argentina in the La Hoya ski resort, located 13 km away from the city. Its trails are totally interconnected by mountain crossings and routes, which turn it into one of the safest and most convenient resorts for the entire family.
Esquel: a synonym for amazing nature. |
