In the morning we are going to pick you up from your hotel and start our trip taking the route 40.
After traveling for 42 km and leaving Junín de los Andes, a small village representative of the region’s Mapuche culture, catch your first glimpse of Lake Huechulafquen, an emerald glacial lake in Lanín National Park. The majestic, snow-capped Lanín Volcano sits prominently in the background.
Continue on to the Mapuche community of Cañicul, where you can sample local specialties like grilled meats and fresh salad (own expense), then stroll the black volcanic sand beaches. Once you’ve sated your appetite, head to the 12,388-foot-high (3,776-meter) Lanín Volcano, where you’re greeted with views of shimmering glaciers and lush hillsides in the distance. Stop at the southern base, the closest entrance to the volcano, and bust out your camera for frame-worthy photos.
At Lake Paimun, your small group is treated to more than just scenic beauty. Here, lies a chapel adorned with vibrant images of ancient Mapuche people. It's a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this indigenous community.
After unwinding by the tranquil shores of Lake Paimún, we'll return to our accommodations in Junín de los Andes.
Some stops were longer than need be. Driver was also guide and very patient. The stop at Canoa could have been almost 2 hours if passengers chose to take the catamaran across the lake. Thankfully no one chose that option.
i take this excursion because i could not book another one to villa la Angostura, and I was really surprised of the beauty of the lake, place araound and the sigth of the lanin Volcano, do it!!
A TOTAL scam paid a price and the card was charged a lot more, they handle very high prices, I advise to find out other agencies that handle better prices and do not steal like this. Apart from that the first tour I do that they have no guide, here the guide is the same that he carries and brings and the experience is not at all the same... Lousy... TOTAL SCAM.
Excellent, everything beautiful. The guide Juan explained everything to us and with super good humor. Obviously Lake Huechulafquen is impressive like Lake Paimun and the Lanin Volcano. Beautiful everything!! With physiotherapy included
Magic of nature with mountains..forests...lakes and volcanoes..with the majestic LANIN Volcano in the background and the mountain range as a boundary with the sky
It is a very nice excursion ideal for people with reduced mobility since you go in traffic and you do not have to walk much. I do not recommend it with children, since the trip is long, I think they would be bored. If you like adventure, this excursion is not for you. In spring/summer it is ideal that it is clear to take advantage of some beach and landscapes, I went with the cloudy day and although it was enjoyed, the landscapes were not as appreciated as with a sunny day. It can be taken to eat, if you are vegetarian there are not many options, so I recommend you to take, then there is choice of meat and trout, patties, etc. The catamaran to tour the Huechulafquen cost a little more than $3000, there is discount for retirees. And park entrance $180 and retirees presenting credentials don't pay. It is a nice walk to get to know a little more, the road is not very good to do it by own vehicle so it is worth paying for the excursion and not risk breaking something. The two churches we knew very nice and picturesque, I am not religious but anyway the buildings themselves caught my attention.
No doubt I'm flicking. You have to pay admission to park and catamaran ride to the petrified river with its bonsai forest that explains so well the guide. No waste!!!!!
The lake is immense and beautiful. The Lanìn Volcano is seen from afar. To get there you have to go to Lake Paimùn and pay to enter the concession campsites or make an excursion. Going to Lake Huechulafquen I recommend visiting Puerto Canoa which has a small beach to the lake and access is free. There are toilets too. The road is of beautiful mountain range bordering the Lake but it is dangerous to drive slowly and with a vehicle in optimal condition. Ideal for a 4x4 To enter the Lanìn National Park you must pay $180 for residents in Argentina and $400 for foreigners. There are toilets in the reporting and payment office. Amazing scenery and highly recommended visit.
This is the walk that you certainly have to do when you are in San Martin de Los Andes. Spectacular views and scenery. Fully recommended.
Beautiful place, with the imposing volcano lanin, beautiful, no words to describe what this place is, just pleasure
A beautiful place, we had a great time. We went to the tour guide and he told us everything about this place
Beautiful the lake and all its surroundings, its flora and fauna, the color of its waters, from anywhere you look at it is very beautiful, and with the Lanìn as an aggregate, you can not ask for more to enjoy, impossible not to make this visit.
we spent an unforgettable day with my family on the excursion to the volcano lanin and Lake Hollow the attention very good breakfast on the shore of the lake seeing in the distance to the volcano lanin excellent view recommended
On Saturday, March 3, I had the possibility to return to Lake Huechulafquen. The tour lasts almost all day. We had a very good climate. Eduardo, the guide of Turismo El Claro, was the one who took us there informed us very well. This time I could not make the trip in the catamaran, which was pending for my next tour of Neuquén.
This excursion can be booked at Sab MArtìn de los Andes and is worth it in every sense. It's full day. The volcano is seen all along and the images are incredible. On its route is the Chineuin River. Lanin National Park and the somewhat Huefchulauquen. All unmissable!!
