About
Caviahue is a mountain resort town in Neuquén Province, in the Argentine Patagonian Andes. It sits in the foothills of the Copahue volcano, and the landscape around it is shaped by that volcanic setting, which gives the village its character as a place to rest, walk and soak.
What draws visitors
- Volcanic hot springs: The area is known for its thermal waters, a natural feature that suits a slow, restorative stay.
- Skiing: Caviahue has skiing facilities, making it a winter destination as well as a warm-water retreat.
- The Copahue volcano: The village lies close to this volcano, so the views and the sense of a living volcanic landscape are a large part of the visit.
Planning a visit
Because Caviahue is a mountain village, the setting changes with the seasons. Visitors who come for snow will find skiing facilities; those who come for the thermal waters and the scenery can enjoy the surrounding mountains in other months. Its location in Neuquén Province means it works well as part of a wider journey through the region's Andean landscapes.
Caviahue suits travellers who want a quiet mountain base, a chance to soak in volcanic waters, and easy access to a dramatic volcanic setting. Checking current conditions for the hot springs, the ski facilities and the roads before setting out will help make the most of a stay.
