The Circuit “San Rafael” starts in San Rafael city,
which provides excellent infra structure as well as an
important and diversified offer of services. It is
formed also by the Cañón del Atuel, and other dams and
reservoirs made by Man in order to produce electric
energy and to organize the irrigation system with the
water from Agua del Toro, Los Reyunos, El Nihuil and
Valle Grande.
One of its virtues is that at a short distance from San Rafael city, there are many different leisure
activities available: trekking, horseback riding,
photograph safaris, mountain biking, all mountain,
jet ski, sailing, canoeing, snorkeling, wind surfing,
water skiing, kayaking, rafting, salmon like fish and
pejerrey fishing.
There is also the possibility of visiting some
traditional wineries and tasting excellent wines at Suter, Valentín Bianchi, las Tinajas, Covisan,
