NATIONAL PARKS
In 1934, the Nahuel Huapi National Park was founded,
beginning a new stage for the area, which slowly transformed in a center of
tourist atracction. Exequiel Bustillo, from his position as the President of
the institution, pushed forward the necessary developments to enable the access
to the beauty of our landscapes.
National Parks imposed it´s architectonic aesthetic.
The architect was Alejandro Bustillo, brother of Exequiel, inspired by the
European tendencies (He belonged to a movement known as “Picturesque”, that
combined different popular techniques of the European architecture)
It was preferred the use of local materials, wood and
stone for the construction of the buildings. For the design of the public
buildings, they worked with the corresponding institution, Post office,
School, Jury or any other.
In order to promote tourism; they sold lots in
preferential places for households valued in at least AR$ 35.000.- of the time.
That´s how the places were acquired by families that belonged to the Buenos
Aires´s high society, who were the only ones capable of costing such an
investment and they traveled for tourism purposes. That´s how various
residences were established. Such as “El Mesidor” that belongs to
the Demaría Salas family, “Inalco” that belongs to the García
Merou and “Inacayal” of the Dr. Pinedo among others.
Since then, our village has been growing and developing into this beautiful town we now share.
