Itinerary
San Martin de los Andes
We will leave San Martin de los Andes in the morning.
Junín de los Andes
After traveling for 42 km, we will arrive to Junín de los Andes, a small village representative of the region’s Mapuche culture, catch your first glimpse of Lake Huechulafquen, an emerald glacial lake in Lanín National Park. The majestic, snow-capped Lanín Volcano sits prominently in the background.
Cañicul & Lanín Volcano
Continue on to the Mapuche community of Cañicul, where you can sample local specialties like grilled meats and fresh salad (own expense), then stroll the black volcanic sand beaches. Once you’ve sated your appetite, head to the 12,388-foot-high (3,776-meter) Lanín Volcano, where you’re greeted with views of shimmering glaciers and lush hillsides in the distance. Stop at the southern base, the closest entrance to the volcano, and bust out your camera for frame-worthy photos.
Lake Paimun
This stop at Lake Paimun gives your small group the opportunity to visit another chapel, with images of ancient Mapuche people.
San Martin de los Andes
Make a brief stop on the shore of the Futaleufú River for one final, breathtaking view of the Lanín Volcano before your guide returns you to your hotel in San Martin de los Andes.
