Villa la Angostura
Villa La Angostura, the Heart of La Misión
In the far north of Argentine Patagonia, surrounded by mountains, ancient forests, crystalline lakes, and some of the most breathtaking landscapes in South America, Villa La Angostura is much more than just the home of La Misión:
it’s an essential part of its spirit.
Located within Nahuel Huapi National Park, this small mountain village combines unspoiled nature, tranquility, adventure, and an identity deeply connected to the outdoors. Its historic trails, mountain ridges, remote valleys, and natural traverses create the perfect setting for a race like La Misión.
Here, the mountain hasn’t been altered for the runner.
The route originates from old royal roads that cross forests, connect valleys, and climb authentic mountains, offering a genuine trail running and expedition experience.
Villa La Angostura also boasts top-notch tourist infrastructure, Patagonian cuisine, hotels, services, and a mountain culture that welcomes visitors from all over the world every year.
But what truly makes this location unique is its atmosphere:
the constant feeling of being surrounded by unspoiled nature.
In February, the Patagonian summer is at its best:
long days, pleasant temperatures, verdant forests, azure lakes, and unforgettable sunrises over the Andes Mountains.
For all these reasons, Villa La Angostura is not just the starting and ending point of La Misión.
It is the place where adventure truly comes alive.
