Villa Traful is reached by road on Ruta Provincial 65, connecting to the RN237 Confluencia approach or the RN40 Seven Lakes side. Bariloche (BRC) and San Martin de los Andes/Chapelco (CPC) are regional flight gateways; onward road transport must be prearranged or independently verified. Neuquen tourism identifies a gravel segment on the RN237 approach, and the provincial highway agency documented 2026 paving works plus September storm impacts. Confirm same-day RP65 transitability, winter equipment, snow/ice and vehicle suitability. Do not assume reliable daily public buses, standard driving times, or paved access. The lake itself is entered by prebooked village-pier day boat, not an overnight liveaboard.
A prearranged vehicle or confirmed transfer is the most predictable way to reach the village and local trailheads. RP65 includes sections affected by paving works and seasonal weather; request the current provincial road report before departure.
