Pucón: Full-Day Excursion to Andean Lakes, Villarrica National Park.｜Chile

We start at our agency or pick you up at your accommodation to begin our adventure exploring the geological richness of the territory. The first village we pass through is Curarrehue, which means "Stone Altar" in Mapudungun and has been sculpted by the force of glaciers and erosion.
We'll continue the tour to Puesco, which means "Water of the North". Here we'll have a privileged view of the Las Peinetas rock formation, also known as Sierra Millallifen, a natural monument created by the collision of tectonic plates. Arrival at Villarrica National Park and Quillelhue Lagoon.
During the excursion, we will visit the beautiful Quillelhue Lagoon, Escondida Lagoon, and Huinfuica Lagoon at the foot of the Lanín Volcano, the highest in the Araucanía region at 3,747 meters above sea level, surrounded by native forest, flowers, and ancient araucarias, in a setting of tranquility and pure nature. These lakes of glacial origin are notable for their crystal-clear waters and their direct connection to the Andes mountain range.
The tour combines gentle hikes for 4 kilometers, panoramic stops, and time to enjoy the surroundings, take photographs, and learn about the natural and cultural history of the territory. At the Huinfuica Lagoon, we'll stop to eat, relax, swim, and appreciate the flora and fauna. The entire journey is accompanied by local guides, who will share information about the geography, flora, fauna, and the importance of the Lanín Volcano for the Mapuche people and the region.
On the way back, we'll stop in the town of Curarrehue to conclude our activity with a refreshing natural juice on the bank of the Trankura River and visit local artisans at the "Walung" fair, which means "summer season," and also learn a little more about the businesses, culture, and people.
At the end, we return to the agency or drop you off at your accommodation.
