Itinerary and highlights

We are going to meet at the pier 15 minutes before the departure.
After collecting the boarding tickets at the office located on the pier of Lake Lacar, we begin the navigation.

This is a boat ride of approximately 28 km that visits much of the Lanín National Park and has several stops. At each stop you get off the boat and have time available for lunch, walk, buy handicrafts or simply contemplate the landscape.

The tour begins by visiting the residential area and beaches of Quila Quina, on the southern margin of Lake Lacar, where you can enjoy its beaches and have lunch at the restaurant (not included).

The next stop will be at Chachín Port, on the south-west margin of Nonthue Lake, to get there you will have to avoid a narrow line that separates Lake Lacar from Lake Nonthue. Its main attraction is the Chachín River Waterfall, a waterfall of about 30 meters high in the middle of the Valdivian Forest.

Leaving the Chachín Port and a few minutes you reach the Hua Hum Port, a few meters from the mouth of the Hua Hum River. Surrounded by a thick green vegetation that is reflected in its crystalline waters. In this sector there is the border crossing with Chile, the border milestone is only 4 km away; It is the lowest pass over the mountain range, about 640 meters above sea level.

The last stop, already back, is on Santa Teresita Island, which is located on Lake Lacar, an island with rocky coasts and covered with vegetation typical of the Patagonian Andean forests. The island has a small Chapel with the image of Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús, which gives the name to the island.

Later we will be returning to the pier were we started, been that the end of the excurtion.
