On this Day: La Islita in San Martin de los Andes

la islita San Martin de los andes

My stay in San Martin de los Andes was very relaxed and this photo really reflects those vibes! I walked from town to La Islita, pausing at the Mirador Bandurrias viewpoint for really stunning views over Lake Lacar. At the viewpoint, I made a friend – the conversation starter was when I asked if he could take a photo and vice versa – and we continued on to La Islita together.

This will be a short post as I spent the rest of the day sat here, on the small pebbly beach, enjoying the moment and scenery. With lovely weather and these sorts of places to visit nearby, I was very content!

Looking back this whole area – San Martin de los Andes, Villa La Angostura, Bariloche – is such a lovely destination to visit. I road tripped the Seven Lakes route with fellow backpackers. Past me would have liked to have a car for longer in San Martin to see the rest of the area!
