Trekking to Lake Cabrera, Hornopirén, Northern Patagonia｜Chile

Leaving early from your accommodation in Puerto Varas, we head along the Austral Highway towards the town of Hornopirén, crossing the Reloncaví Estuary by barge.
Upon arriving at the village, we take the route towards Lake Cabrera to start the 6 km trail through forests of coihues, mañíos, cypress, tepas, raulíes, and alerces, walking along an old logging route for the extraction of alerces and mañíos, where we will see vestiges of the logging operations and houses of the first lumber settlers who made shingles.
Upon arriving at Lake Cabrera, we'll see the Hornopirén and Yates Volcanoes with the expanse of their volcanic ridge in contrast to the turquoise waters of the lake. We'll rest, enjoy the scenery, take photos, and enjoy our box lunch.
We will begin our return along the same route until we reach the starting point to take the transportation that will take us back to Puerto Varas again along the Carretera Austral.
