Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Villa La Angostura
Villa La Angostura is a small town of about seven and a half thousand people on the north shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi, in the Patagonian Andes of Neuquén province, and it has the air of a Swiss resort that was built with local timber and stone. The name means the narrow village, from the slim isthmus that joins the town's peninsula to the mainland. It was founded in the 1930s, and the log-and-stone chalets, chocolate shops and smokehouses give it a cosy character. To the east, the city of Bariloche lies about eighty kilometres away along the lake.

2. San Martin de los Andes
San Martín de los Andes lies at the eastern end of Lake Lácar, in a pocket of Patagonian forest, and the town itself feels as though it were assembled from the surrounding trees: steep-roofed wooden chalets, carved signs, the smell of woodsmoke in the cooler months. It began in 1898 as a military post, one of the forts established in the conquest of the Mapuche lands, and grew into a mountain resort of around twenty-three thousand people. The Mapuche presence is still strong in the region, and the Lanín volcano, which rises to 3,776 metres above the lake district, is sacred to them.
