Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Potrero de los Funes brings together a valley town, a reservoir, a scenic road and a semi-permanent racetrack. This offers several reasons to stay: scenery and water, architectural history or motorsport. If you are looking for a hotel in Potrero de los Funes, you can first consider which of these themes you want to shape your trip.

Valley, mountain ranges and scenic road

Potrero de los Funes lies in a valley at an elevation of 960 metres above sea level. Hills surround the town; they belong to the last foothills of the Sierras de San Luis. At 1,953 metres above sea level, Cerro Valle de Piedra is one of the highest elevations in Potrero de los Funes. These elevation figures describe two different aspects of the landscape: the location of the valley town and one of its highest elevations.

The 7.10-kilometre Mirador de Los Molles–Camino Potrero scenic road offers another perspective. It climbs through the Sierras and affords views of the Dique Potrero de los Funes. The elevation figures and the views from the road thus offer different ways to experience the landscape.

Water at the lake and the stream

Water sports are possible on the lake at Embalse Potrero de los Funes, and sport fishing is another option. Arroyo Los Molles offers a different waterside setting: on the way to the summit of Cerro Valle de Piedra, the stream forms several pools suitable for swimming. The activities are therefore spread across different bodies of water: water sports and sport fishing on the lake, and swimming in the pools along the stream. This distinction can help you choose the kind of waterside activity you prefer.

Architectural history, chapel and motorsport

Dique Potrero de los Funes was built in 1927 and is one of the oldest dams in the region. Its construction date and regional significance give the structure a clear historical context. Capilla San Antonio is located in the centre of Potrero de los Funes. It combines Gothic, colonial and Romanesque features. While the Dique represents the history of a dam, the chapel brings together several architectural traditions in one building.

Motorsport adds another dimension. Circuito Internacional Potrero de los Funes is a 6,250-metre semi-permanent racetrack. It has hosted major national racing series such as Súper TC 2000, Turismo Carretera and Top Race, as well as the international FIA-GT category. The figures describe different offerings: the Circuito is 6,250 metres long, while the scenic road is 7.10 kilometres long, climbs through the Sierras and offers views of the Dique. Motorsport history and scenic views thus stand as distinct themes.
