We will stay overnight in a very nice hotel in Los Antiguos, renowned for its cherry exports, nestled on the shores of Lake Buenos Aires, which is large enough to easily fit the Isle of Man (572 km²), the Isle of Wight (380 km²), and Anglesey (Wales) (714 km²). Lake Buenos Aires is comparable in size to the Eryri / Snowdonia National Park.
