Day Trip to Yuco, Chachín Waterfall & Hua Hum

We'll collect you from your hotel in downtown San Martín de los Andes at 2 pm before heading northwest towards the Neuquén province. While passing through the Valdivian rainforest, we will familiarize ourselves with the plant species in the Lanín National Park.

Continuing along Provincial Route 48, we will reach Trompul, a rural area mainly inhabited by the Curruhuinca Mapuche community. Here, we will visit the Piedra de Trompul, a remarkable rock that stands alone, offering views of Lake Lácar and the Chapelco and Abanico mountains.

Next, we will head to the stunning Yuco peninsula, characterized by small bays with volcanic sand, surrounded by myrtle trees reflected in emerald waters.

Our final destination is Hua Hum, on the border between Argentina and Chile in the northwest area of Lake Lácar. Here you will see the Christ of Peace, a statue carved in rauli wood. After a short hike, we will arrive at the Chachin waterfall, a 30-meter (100-foot) waterfall in the Valdivian rainforest, concluding our day trip.

We will return to the center of San Martín de los Andes around 7 pm to drop you back off at your hotel.
