Buta Ranquil

Built around the junction of National Route 40 and Provincial Route 6, Buta Ranquil developed into a service centre for the far north of Neuquén Province. The town stands in dry Patagonian steppe near the upper Colorado River, formed where the Barrancas and Grande rivers meet. Its name retains Mapuche roots, recalling the Indigenous presence that predates Argentina’s modern road network. This is a working settlement shaped by long distances, open horizons and routes linking Neuquén with Mendoza.
