Day Trip Details

After picking you up from your hotel in Caviahue, we'll head northeast towards Copahue. Our first brief stop will be at the Mirador de Caviahue, where you can admire the Copahue Volcano and lake.

Continuing our journey for approximately 30 minutes, we'll reach Las Máquinas, where we will wander amongst fumaroles and boiling springs. This area is named Las Máquinas (The Machines) due to the sounds emitted by the Earth, reminiscent of steam engines.

We will then proceed to the old Bustillo Inn, to see the remains of South America's first geothermal power plant and explore its old geothermal well while discussing its history.

Next, we’ll visit the village of Copahue to explore Agua de Limón (Lemon Water), a natural hot spring with laxative properties. The day trip concludes with a visit to Callos Lagoon in Copahue's Thermal Complex, where you will have 45 minutes of free time to enjoy the warm waters.

Finally, we’ll return to Caviahue and conclude our trip back at your hotel after a total of 4 hours.
