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 and head northwest towards the Neuquén province. During our journey through the Valdivian rainforest, we'll learn about the plant species in the Lanín National Park.

Continuing along Provincial Route 48, we'll reach Trompul, a rural area primarily inhabited by the Curruhuinca Mapuche community. Here, we'll visit the Piedra de Trompul, a notable rock with a naturally formed face and views of Lake Lácar and the Chapelco and Abanico mountains.

Next, we arrive at the Yuco peninsula, recognized for its beautiful small bays with volcanic sand, surrounded by a forest of myrtle trees reflected in the emerald waters.

Our final stop is Hua Hum, located on the Argentina-Chile border. You'll see the Christ of Peace, a statue carved from rauli wood. After a short hike, we will reach the Chachin waterfall, a stunning 30-meter (100-foot) waterfall in the Valdivian rainforest, marking the end of our day trip.

We'll return to central San Martín de los Andes around 7 pm to drop you back at your hotel.
