Villa La Angostura - City of Argentina
Villa La Angostura (Spanish for Narrowness-ville; Welsh language Lle Cul) is a village on the south of the Argentine province of Neuquén, on the northwest shore of the Nahuel Huapi Lake.
La Angostura is considered among the main attractions of the Argentine Andean Patagonia because of the wooden town itself, but also because of the beauty of its sights. On its left side is the Nahuel Huapi Lake, and on the right the Correntoso Lake. Both lakes are connected by the Correntoso River, which with only 200 meters of length, is one of the sport fishing destinations around La Angostura.
The architecture of the town follows an European wooden style. There are shops and restaurants of artisanal products such as chocolate, deer and trout. It's categorised as mountain village, though it has 11,000 inhabitants, probably too many to be considered so.
The area's micro-climate offers mild temperatures though winter covers it in snow. Nearby La Angostura is the Cerro Bayo and its ski centre.
