Dina Huapi is a village and municipality in Río Negro Province in Argentina.[1]
The area of Dina Huapi was settled by Danish immigrants. The first part of the name is taken for the Spanish name for Denmark; Dinamarca.
It's located on the southeast margin of the eastern end of the Nahuel Huapi Lake, immediately south of the source of the Limay River. The National Route 40 crosses its path through the town, and leads to the neighbouring city of San Carlos de Bariloche to the southwest and to the province of Neuquén to the northeast.
