riving along route 237, 80 km. from Neuquén, you will find El Chocón, testimony of the presence of man and nature's action.
Chocón means "man numb with cold, or soaking wet" in Mapuche language.
The austere red formations in cliffs and rocks are the framework for a lake that was once the peaceful spot where other people shephered and loved the land.
One of the first dams built in the area promoted progress and the development of the cities in the area.
Meanwhile, nature keeps offering its colourful mineral riches so that our dreams grow in it.
The village witnesses the winds, and its permanence will give you the dimension of what man can do when interest is strong. As a complement to your visit, you can travel through the paleonthology of the place, rich in findings recently performed.
