Cholila, Argentina, Mountain settlement in Chubut, Argentina.

Located at 560 meters elevation, Cholila extends across four valleys: El Cajon, El Rincon, El Blanco, and Villa Lago Rivadavia in the Andean foothills.

European and Syrian-Lebanese immigrants established Cholila in the late nineteenth century, developing agricultural practices and livestock production in the fertile valleys.

The Provincial Barbecue Festival takes place each February, bringing together local residents to share traditional Patagonian cooking methods and regional entertainment.

The town offers various accommodation options near Lake Mosquito, where visitors can fish for trout and access hiking trails through Provincial Route 15.
