Esquel

 
Overview

Esquel is a town in the northwest of Chubut Province in Argentine Patagonia. It is located in Futaleufú Department, of which it is the government seat.

Description

If you tire of the gnome-in-the-chocolate-shop ambience of Bariloche and other cutesy Lake District destinations, regular old Esquel is a breath of fresh air. Set in western Chubut’s dramatic, hikeable foothills, Esquel is a hub for Parque Nacional Los Alerces and an easygoing, friendly base camp for abundant adventure activities – the perfect place to chill after hard travel on RN 40.
