Overview

Playa Bonita is a kitesurfing spot located on the south shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi, a few kilometres west of Bariloche, in Rio Negro Province. This pebble beach offers direct access to the lake with panoramic mountain views. The prevailing winds blow from the west and northwest, with sustained intensities of 15 to 30 knots. The spot is exposed to the lake's fetch, which generates chop in strong winds. The water is cold and crystal clear. Suitable for intermediate and advanced riders.
