About Río Correntoso
The Río Correntoso connects the lake of the same name to Nahuel Huapi, in the northern sector of Villa La Angostura. Its short course makes it possible to perceive the passage between two large bodies of water. The bridge and accessible banks are the points visitors use to observe the flow and the surrounding forest.
You can include the stop on the way out to the Rota dos Sete Lagos. The visitation area is close to Ruta 40, but the visit should not be made from an improvised roadside stop. Use the signposted access and walk through the areas designated for pedestrians.
The current is part of the landscape and not an invitation to enter the water. To photograph, look for a view of the course between the vegetation and the connections with the lakes. The visit time can be short, leaving room for the nearby beach or to continue along the road, depending on the day's conditions.
Before you go
Practical information
Cidade Turismo reviews its information regularly, but something may have changed. Check with the place before planning your trip.
How much time to set aside
From 30 minutes to an hour for the river and the bridge; the nearby beach requires additional time.
Best time
During the day to observe the link between the lakes. Between December and March it is usually easier to add a stop at the shore; bring a jacket if it's windy.
How to get there
Leave the center via Ruta 40 heading toward the Rota dos Sete Lagos. Use the access to the river and beach sector, about 3.5 km from the center, and walk through the visitation area.
Tip
Avoid stopping to photograph directly on the road. The entrance to the shore area allows you to organize viewing without disrupting traffic.
