Lying at the foot of the Andes, on the Lácar lake, it is considered one of the main tourism destinations in the province.

The city was founded in 1898 as a military outpost to secure the Argentine sovereignty over the area. The economy of the then-mountain village was based on wood logging and husbandry until the opening of the Lanín National Park in 1937, when tourism became the main industry. Migration from different parts of the world, such as Europe and the Middle East, as well as from neighboring Chile and other Argentine provinces, contributed to the population growth.
