Located 232 kilometers south of the provincial capital, and blessed with a climate that favors it with 300 sunny days a year, the city of San Rafael showcases a catalog of landscapes that are missing very few of the expressions that nature has managed to materialize in the world: mountains, rivers, lakes, oases, varied vegetation, and even desert spaces extend within its boundaries.

Atuel Canyon Circuit

Este circuito está formado por Valle Grande, el Cañón del Atuel y la Villa Turística El Nihuil. En Valle Grande, gracias a un inmenso espejo de agua verde esmeralda, la excursión se hace “aventura” con la práctica de la natación, buceo, esquí, remo, moto-náutica, paseo en catamarán, windsurf, pesca deportiva, safaris fotográficos, etc... En el Cañón del Atuel la erosión producida por el accionar del viento y el agua ha modelado las rocas dándole formas que nos permiten sorprendernos paso a paso. En este Cañón, la naturaleza formó verdaderas esculturas naturales como el Museo de Cera, el Sillón de Rivadavia, el Lagarto, los Viejos, los Monstruos, la Ciudad Encantada, el Mendigo, Los Jardines Colgantes, los Monjes... Además el Cañón tiene dos lagos artificiales, Aisol y Tierras Blancas, que contribuyen a la belleza de este lugar. Emergiendo del Cañón a través de una sinuosa cuesta se descubre la inmensidad del lago que conforma el dique El Nihuil, lugar ideal para los deportes náuticos. Cuando los amantes de windsurf despliegan sus velas multicolores, se ve un espectáculo increíble de colorido sin igual. Sobre la margen derecha se levanta la Villa El Nihuil. Además, el dique El Nihuil permite al pescador practicar su deporte favorito. Para regresar a San Rafael se utiliza la ruta provincial 180 empalmando la ruta nacional 144, pasando por Cuesta de Los Terneros, localidad de Cuadro Benegas e ingresando a la Ciudad por avenida Balloffet.

Después de la cumbre, se toma el camino a El Sosneado, que se encuentra a 142 kilómetros de San Rafael y que posee una naturaleza agreste que ofrece la práctica de andinismo, moutain bike, trekking... Mediante un camino consolidado que bordea el río Atuel, se accede a la laguna El Sosneado, apta para la pesca y el buceo, a la Cueva del Indio, testigo de nuestras culturas anteriores y las ruinas del otrora famoso Hotel Termal El Sosneado, con piletas con aguas termales al aire libre, que aún conservan sus propiedades curativas.
