Junín de los Andes, a peaceful town on the banks of the Chimehuin River in Neuquén province, is renowned worldwide as a premier fly-fishing destination. But it's equally exceptional as a car camping base. The town serves as a primary gateway to Lanín National Park, whose namesake 3,776-meter volcano dominates the western horizon. For car campers, the region offers a remarkable variety of settings: riverside camps with world-class fishing, lakeside sites beneath the volcano, and mountain forest camps at various altitudes. The network of gravel roads leading to lakes Huechulafquen, Paimún, and Tromen are scenic drives in themselves, passing through Mapuche communities and araucaria (monkey puzzle) forests. A rental vehicle opens up the full range of this diverse and relatively uncrowded camping region.
