Neuquén, Commercial center in northern Patagonia, Argentina
The city extends along the convergence of Limay and Neuquén rivers, forming a strategic settlement at the beginning of the Río Negro waterway.
The establishment of railway connections in 1902 transformed Neuquén from a small trading post into a provincial capital by 1904.
The National University of Comahue maintains multiple faculties throughout the city, contributing to education and research across Patagonian regions.
The Presidente Perón Airport provides regular domestic flights while National Route 22 connects the city to major destinations across Argentina.
The Astronomical Observatory and UNCo Museum display the region's first mechanical dinosaur, highlighting the area's paleontological discoveries.
