Dina Huapi is at the eastern head of Lake Nahuel Huapi, 15 minutes from Bariloche airport. You ride on the coast between the town and the mouth of the Ñirihuau river, with Cerro Catedral, Tronador, and López opposite. The municipality has marked a sector for kite with signs, and it is the model that Bariloche kiters are asking to replicate. From November to April, the western thermal blows five to seven days a week, averaging 20 to 30 kt and some days 35 to 40. Here it blows towards the shore, so the waves are smaller than in Bariloche: with less than 20 kt the water is almost flat near the shore, very good for practising freestyle. The lake is cold: wear a wetsuit all year round. The east wind comes down from the steppe: do not go out. You park on the coastal road, next to the beach. There are kite schools and instructors in the area during the summer.
