By the time before first Europeans arrived to America, there was a little plantation on the edge of Coviahue lake. This was the meeting and celebration place of  native indians Mapuche (Coviahue means in Mapuche language „place of jamboree and celebration). Nowadays you would seek for a party superfluously. But what is not today, may come tomorrow. Increasing number of tourists leads to the fact, hostels and little „family“ accomodation appears very quickly. There´s no surprise. All the region is very attractive during the whole year.
The main touristic attraction is swimming in the sanative 
Ski resort Cerro Caviahue can not - in the matter of slope lenght and number of tow - compete with bigger and more famous rivals (Las leňas and Cerro Catedral Bariloche), but despite that skiers of all levels will find nice and well maintained slopes and free-ride tracks.
 
I can recommed a ride on the snow-breaker to the top of Copahue volcano and 8th  km long downhill ride back to the resort.
Caviahue has something what makes it very special: scenic nature with Araucarias (one of the oldest bothanical spieces over the world).
But winter in Caviahue is not friendly only to skiers. Beside mentioned snow-breaker rides you can visit also rugby and polo on snow. And the ramp of Copahue is covedet terrain for snowkiting.
We can guess, Caviahue will soon become a place of jamboree and celebration again. Hopefully, nice local nature will not suffer any damage by this fact.
