The complex the Nihuil in San Rafael, that includes the lake and the dock Great Valley excels not only by the beauty of its landscapes: it is also a real paradise for the practice of aquatic sports and the sport fishing. It is by that reason that for more than 50 years has been working the Club of Fishermen there San Rafael, pioneering institution in the organization of fishing matches, preservation of the ictcola fauna and lodging in Mendoza adapted to the needs of the fishermen. The fishing club San Rafael counts on a camping of modern infrastructure to borders of the lake Great Valley.
