Argentina. San martín de los andes
One of the most characteristic visit in the Lanín National Park. It reaches the very base of the Volcano. Bordering the Chimehuin River, one of the most famous trout fly-fishing spots in the world, the largest lake in the park -the Huechulafquen- is reached and its entire length, with its blue waters and its impressive waves, is visited. Before that we visit Junín de los Andes, its centre, the church and the Mapuche cultural centre, where they offer traditional handicraft. This is our first contact with tha mapuche culture. At midday, we stop in a mapuche community to have lunch. After that the excursion will reach Puerto Canoa, a beautiful spot located on the shores of the lake. There is also the opportunity of going on a lake excursion across Lake Epulafquen in order to observe the marvelous lava at the Escorial of 6 km lenght. After lunch, the excursion will reach Lake Paimun, with its green waters suitable for swimming, as they are not so cold. In different places of our trip we can see an impressive view of the Lanín Volcano, almost 3,800 m of height, and its snow-capped summit.
