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 we head northwest towards the Neuquén province. While passing through the Valdivian rainforest, we'll familiarize ourselves with the plant species in the Lanín National Park.

Continuing along Provincial Route 48, we'll reach Trompul, a rural area mainly inhabited by the Curruhuinca Mapuche community. Here, we'll visit the Piedra de Trompul, a remarkable rock that forms a modeled face. The views of Lake Lácar and the Chapelco and Abanico mountains are notable.

Next, we'll head to the Yuco peninsula, characterized by small bays with volcanic sand and surrounded by a forest of myrtle trees reflecting in the emerald waters.

Our final destination is Hua Hum, located on the border between Argentina and Chile. The Christ of Peace, a statue carved in rauli wood by artisans from Easter Island, is found here. After a short hike, we'll arrive at the Chachin waterfall, a 30-meter (100-foot) waterfall in the Valdivian rainforest, marking the end of our trip.

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