Antinir Pilquinan

The Lileo descends from the Andes through the valley near Los Miches, joining the Nahueve shortly before the latter meets the Neuquén River. Snow-fed streams flow between the mountain slopes, which lead west towards passes into Chile. Pehuenche communities lived along the Nahueve when Spanish travellers entered the region. Their country extended across the Andean uplands, connecting valleys on both sides of the range.
