Neuquén Province has many amazing outdoor locations. The entire Andes range to the west is several national and provincial parks which link to create a single 700km park before arriving to the south at Bariloche in the Rio Negro province. Highlights include, the town of San Martin de Los Andes and the Lanín volcano
The capital city is a small growing city, and the downtown center is nice to walk around. Some cultural opportunities, including the National Bella arts museum
Cine Teatro Español
Very good restaurant which changes the menu every 3 days: Casa Tinta

Thanks very much for the tips! I appreciate the ideas.
One additional question - anyone know of a decent, reasonably priced, 3-ish star hotel downtown? For some reason I'm only pulling up a handful of hotels on the major international booking sites. Despegar.com shows more, but they seem to be going through issues with Cristina's amigos, aren't they? I'm nervous about booking with them in case they get shut down and the reservation turns to dust...
I've made a reservation for now at the Austral, but it's refundable so if I can find a better idea I can easily cancel.

It is difficult to find hotels or other housing. The price for quality places can be higher than Mendoza or Buenos Aires because there is less inventory. I have mostly rented nice (and not so nice) tourist apartments by the night/week/month. PM me if you would like a suggestion.
