Lago Puelo is a town located in the Chubut Province, Argentina, 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) north from the Lago Puelo National Park, and 15 km (9.3 mi) south from El Bolsón. With a population of around 2,090 inhabitants, it is one of the towns that forms the Andine Shire (Spanish: La Comarca Andina).
With a population in constant growth due to the migration from larger cities in Argentina, this small town also offers a wide variety of artisans that display their crafts in the local fair of El Bolsón, or in the annual Forest Festival (Spanish: La Fiesta Del Bosque) which is usually held during January or February.
Many of the town's inhabitants are native "porteños", or people from Buenos Aires.
