Outdoor Activity Attractions In Esquel

  • 1. La Hoya Esquel
    La Hoya is a ski resort in Chubut Province, Patagonia, southern Argentina.Due to its southward orientation, the slope doesn't receive much sunshine, so the proper conditions are created for the formation of the powder snow which characterizes this resort and makes it popular. As its name suggests , the skiing area has the shape of a hole or amphitheater, with its back to the trajectory of the Sun. This is the reason why the snow typically endures until October, when winter sports can be played with less clothes on. There are runs for all skills of Alpine Ski, including competition. The resort offers as well an area for ski touring and a snowpark.

It was created in order to protect its scenic landscape and the Valdivian flora, as an annex to the Los Alerces National Park, and declared National Park and independent reserve in 1971. The protected area is named after the Puelo Lake, and belongs to the Patagonic forest and steppes and High Andes eco-regions. The mountainous zone where the park lies was modified by the action of glaciers, which created many rivers and lakes, including the one that gives the park its name. The rivers of the region show high levels of glacier sediment , which gives Puelo Lake its blue color.
