Join us to explore two of the breathtaking natural wonders of Neuquén province on this excursion: the Huechulafquen Lake and Lanín Volcano!

Day Trip to Huechulafquen Lake & Lanín Volcano

At 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in downtown San Martin de los Andes and set off to explore Huechulafquen Lake and Lanin Volcano in Lanin National Park.

Our first stop will be at the mouth of the Chimehuín River, which is the source of Huechulafquen Lake, forming part of an important lake system with Paimún and Epulafquen lakes.

Next, we'll visit the town of Junín de los Andes to explore the Nuestra Señora de las Nieves church and Mapuche cultural center, before continuing through Lanin National Park to reach Lake Huechulafquen.

At Puerto Canoa, you can enjoy a 1.5-hour catamaran ride on Huechulafquen and Epulafquen lakes (ticket not included) or admire the scenic beauty. During the tour, observe a 6 km (3.73-mile) lava river from the Achen Niyeu volcano and views of the snow-capped summit of Lanin Volcano.

We'll visit Lake Paimún, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

On our way back, we'll stop at the Mapuche communities to learn about their lifestyle.

Finally, we'll return to San Martin de los Andes around 7 pm and drop you back off at your hotel.
