3. Above the same route – later on – is the Enchanted Valley with its immense and strange rock formations surrounding Confluence. There, the Limay River meets the Traful River and if we deviate west we reach Villa Traful. This village is a small mountain village surrounded by wonderful scenery. The Mirador of Lake Traful offers us a superb view of the surroundings. The road to these places shows a transition between steppe and forest, caverns, some Patagonian stays, but also the flora and fauna of the place are observed. If the journey begins in the morning, the arrival at Villa Traful offers the occasion for lunch and the continuation of the tour with the visit to Puerto Arrayán and El Portezuelo.
