Caviahue
Right in the province of Neuquén, at the foot of the Copahue volcano and at the Caviahue lakeside, flourishes this mountain village which in mapuche language means "place for celebration or reunion’’.
Caviahue posseses a rustic landscape sprinkled with streams, falls and woods. 
In winter, copious snowfalls cover the territory in white. In this season the tourist can practise skiing in the white valleys and the nearby plains. The ski runs, used for the cross-country style and, in a lesser degree, for the Alpine style, follow one onother embedded in araucaria woods. These ski runs are undulated and vary both in difficulty and length. 
Due to a curious climatic phenomenom, the Caviahue temperature is good both in summer and winter. 
In summer, its surroundings are specially suitable for adventure tourism, such as horseback riding, sporting fishing, mountaineering or familiar exploratory walkings, mainly due to the relatively low level of difficulty in the region trails and paths.
It offers a comfortable hotel service infrastructure.
