On the way, there will be a stop in the city of Junin de los Andes, where we will do a City tour, visiting the Church-monument to Laura Vicuña and Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, very important for its links with the Mapuche culture of the region, which earned it recognition from the Vatican.
Leaving Junín, a few kilometers further on, We will have the first view of Lake Huechulafquen with the imposing Lanin Volcano in the background. We will stop to walk along its beaches and reach the source of the Chimehuín River, internationally recognized for its trout fishing, which is sometimes discovered with the naked eye.
We will board the vehicles and from here we will enter the Lanín National Park, obtaining wonderful views of the Lake Huechulafquen, which we will skirt along some Approximately 30 km. As we enter the park, we will begin to observe the forests of the ancient Araucarias. Continuing with our tour we will arrive at the barbecue fields served by the Mapuche community of Cañicul. In these country restaurants we can taste some grilled meats and a variety of salads (lunch not included and optional).
We will continue traveling by VAN to the milestone that gives its name to this National Park: the majestic Lanín Volcano and its glaciers of imposing beauty. We will reach the sector of its southern base, which is the closest point to the volcano, since there is no other means that can bring us closer, as it is the point where the hikes begin to ascend to the summit. From here we will take the best photos of its glaciers and summit.
We will continue our journey until we reach Lake Paimún, where we will have the opportunity to visit another very special chapel due to its location and the fact that it received donations from different cultures and without leaving aside the symbology of the native peoples of the area, it has managed to integrate the traditional church with the images of the ancient Mapuche peoples.
