Amazing Nature - When the weather plays a trick on you and you can't see the landscape: nothing to do against clouds. / Cuando el clima te juega una mala pasada y no te deja ver el paisaje: nada que hacer contra las nubes. 😅❤️

One of the reasons why I don't like to see pictures of a place before I go to see it in person is that I don't want to be disappointed when I get there. Nowadays many photos can be edited and be better than what the reality represents, so for me the best thing to do is to go and see everything with your own eyes. Another reason for disappointment may be that the good weather does not accompany you on your walk and the landscape is not as you saw it on the internet. That happened to my hiking companions, who upon arriving at Puerto de Arrayanes in Neuquén expected to see an incredible postcard and all we got at first were pure clouds 😅.

Una de las razones por las cuales no me gusta ver fotos de un lugar antes de ir a conocerlo personalmente es que no quiero decepcionarme al llegar. Hoy en día muchas fotos pueden estar editadas y ser mejores que lo que la realidad representa, por lo que para mí lo conveniente es ir y ver todo con tus propios ojos. Otro motivo de decepción puede ser que el buen clima no te acompañe en tu paseo y que el paisaje no sea tal cual lo viste en internet. Eso le pasó a mis compañeros de caminata, quienes al llegar al Puerto de Arrayanes en Neuquén esperaban ver una postal increíble y todo lo que obtuvimos al principio fueron puras nubes 😅.

Since we started our walk at 9 AM to cover the 12 km that separate the center of Villa La Angostura with the Arrayanes Forest, we knew that the day was not going to be spectacularly beautiful. The trail runs along the Mansa Bay, and when we wanted to look towards the lake area, the landscape was shrouded in a thick gray fog. Our hope was that three hours later the landscape would clear up a bit, but it continued to do so until midday 🙃.

Desde que iniciamos nuestra caminata a las 9 AM para recorrer los 12 km que separan el centro de Villa La Angostura con el Bosque de Arrayanes, supimos que el día no iba a estar espectacularmente hermoso. El sendero costea la Bahía Mansa, y cuando queríamos ver hacia la zona del lago, el paisaje estaba tapado de una espesa niebla gris. Nuestra esperanza era que tres horas después el paisaje se despejara un poco, pero así continuó siendo hasta horas del mediodía 🙃.

I had already been to this place last year but this time I was lucky enough to have a sunny and cloudless day, where the landscape looked incredible. Lake Nahuel Huapi, blue in all its splendor and surrounded by mountains, is a fascinating postcard. On this winter trip I expected to see the same thing but with the mountains in their snowy version, although the cloudy day seemed to have other plans. After a while, the cloudiness seemed to give no respite 😅.

Yo ya había estado en este lugar el año pasado pero esa vez tuve la suerte de tener un día soleado y sin nubes, en dónde el paisaje se veía increíble. El Lago Nahuel Huapi, azul en todo su esplendor y rodeado de montañas es una postal fascinante. En este viaje de invierno esperaba ver lo mismo pero con las montañas en su versión nevada, aunque el día nublado parecía que tenía otros planes. Después de un rato, la nubosidad parecía no dar tregua 😅.

An hour had passed when it finally seemed like the sun was going to come out a little. However, the clouds remained stuck, blocking the visibility of the mountains. Well, this is not exactly what we expected to see, but I think it looks nice anyway. At least we could appreciate the landscape a little, although I don't deny that I would have liked to see it in its entirety. My companions felt cheated, but we didn't stop taking photos with that scenery in the background 😅.

Habrá pasado una hora para cuando al fin, parecía que iba a salir un poco el sol. Sin embargo, las nubes se quedaron estancadas obstruyendo la visibilidad de las montañas. Bueno, esto no es lo que precisamente esperábamos ver, pero creo que se ve lindo de todos modos. Al menos pudimos apreciar un poco el paisaje, aunque no niego que hubiese querido verlo en su totalidad. Mis compañeros se sentían estafados, pero no dejamos de sacarnos fotos con ese escenario de fondo 😅.

Places like Villa La Angostura in Neuquén are beautiful regardless of the weather. My favorite part of this place is the one near the dock, where you can see the water in an incredible emerald green color. There wasn't much sun and the water already looked that color, crystal clear and made you want to swim a little even though the temperature outside is less than 10 °C. During our afternoon at the dock we saw a few boats arrive with tourists who want to see the forest, those not brave enough to walk the 12 km to get there 😅.

Lugares como Villa La Angostura en Neuquén son hermosos independientemente del clima. Mi parte favorita de este lugar es la cercana al muelle, en donde se puede ver el agua de un color verde esmeralda increíble. No habia tanto sol y el agua ya se veía de ese color, cristalino y daban ganas de nadar un poco aunque la temperatura afuera sea menor a 10 °C. Durante nuestra tarde en el muelle vimos llegar unos cuantos barcos con turistas que quieren conocer el bosque, aquellos no tan valientes como caminar los 12 km hasta ahí 😅.

Although we didn't see the typical postcards of this place when the sun is at its highest and the sky is completely clear, I think we had some good cloudy views. At least it didn't rain, which was what we feared the day before. I love this place for the peace it conveys, and because wherever you look, you can find a beautiful corner. Returning to Villa La Angostura was one of the things I wanted to do since last year and I was glad that it happened: now I have two different memories of the postcards of this place ❤️.

Si bien no vimos las típicas postales de este lugar cuando el sol está en lo más alto y el cielo totalmente despejado, creo que tuvimos unas buenas vistas nubosas. Al menos no llovió, que eso era lo que temíamos el día anterior. Este lugar me encanta por la paz que transmite, y porque en cualquier punto que mires, podés encontrar un rincón hermoso. Volver a Villa La Angostura era una de las cosas que quería hacer desde el año pasado y me alegró que así sea: ahora tengo dos recuerdos diferentes de las postales de este lugar ❤️.


❤️ Hope you liked this post! Thanks for reading. ❤️

It's very true what you say, there is no worse disappointment for a tourist than having a place in mind and when you get there you realize that what you saw or what they told you is not so.
It's a shame that your friends were not able to see all the beauty of the place, they would have been disappointed without a doubt.
Personally, I like the clouds and the fog, it has a special charm.
How great that you were able to return to Villa La Angostura, dear friend @lauramica
Have a wonderful weekend

I think that even with the clouds the landscape looked very beautiful. It was a good afternoon, although they will have to go again if they want to see a clear landscape. 😅
