14:19 – The route of the Seven Lakes


1 – Lanín National Park
The national park was created to preserve and protect this part of the Andean-Patagonian forests, it has more than 20 lakes, including Lake Lacar, on whose coast is the city of San Martín de los Andes and Lake Huechulafquen, further to the north.
You will be able to see mountains, rivers and the extinct Lanín volcano, the snow-capped conical peak that borders Chile.

2 - The Puerto Canoa dock
It is located on the northern shore of Lake Huechulafquen and within the Quila Quina area where the dock from which the boarded excursions depart, to Lake Lacar among others, is located.

3 - Quila Quina
Within the Lanín National Park, this small beach town, Quila Quina is located just 18 km from San Martín de los Andes, on the southern bank of Lake Lácar, it is part of the surroundings of the city.
It is a very popular place in the warm months and has hiking trails, sandy shores of the lake, the beach with the typical pier, campsites and restaurants.
You can get there by car or, as we did, by ferry departing from the San Martín Pier.
It is a place that can perfectly be explored on a self-guided basis, since it is correctly signposted.

4 – The Beautiful Lake
It is not one of the 7 lakes, but deviating from the route along a 2 km path you enter the coast of Lago Hermoso, for us, the most beautiful on this circuit.
It is located 75 km from Villa La Angostura and 35 km from San Martín.
Safety pin…

5 – The Chachin Waterfall
The Chachín Waterfall is one of the most important in the Lanín National Park with an approximate drop of 30 meters and is located 60 kilometers from San Martín de los Andes.
From the parking lot, you must continue along the pedestrian path, the walk is uphill, of medium difficulty and lasts approximately half an hour depending on the pace of the walker.
When you reach the end of the trail you will find the waterfall viewpoint.

6 – Puerto Pucara
Puerto Pucara is a small old dock in San Martín de Los Andes, where decades ago the villagers of that wonderful place embarked to go to the city for supplies and education.
It is 57 km from San Martín de los Andes and 6 km from Chachín Waterfall.

7 – Hua Hum Pier
On the edge of Argentine territory, on the waters of Lake Nonthué, there is an incredible bay with wide beaches ideal for relaxing.
It is located 50 km from San Martín de los Andes and is a mandatory disembarkation point for the boarded excursions that leave the San Martín de los Andes dock daily.

8 – Lolog Lake
Very close to the city, Lake Lolog is located just 12 kilometers from the city of San Martín de los Andes and dazzles with its beaches and a very nice service center, ideal for fully enjoying Patagonian nature.

9 - Paihuen Resort
It is a Vacation Complex located on the banks of Lake Lácar and in the heart of the Lanín National Park, just 5 minutes from San Martín de los Andes, on the route of the 7 Lakes.
It has stone and wood cabins and apartments, with Caleuche (its Restaurant and Club House), and the most outstanding Wine Bar in the region.

10 - Discover San Martín de los Andes
This magical mountain city undoubtedly has it all: a range of options for all tastes and a natural setting that can be enjoyed in the four seasons of the year.
Although not as big as nearby Bariloche, San Martín de los Andes and its lakeside beaches are ideal for a day of walking and relaxing.
It is considered the gateway to the Lanín National Park, created to protect the natural landscapes of the region made up of hills, native forests, rivers, springs, waterfalls and lakes.

11 - Finally… the Route of the Seven Lakes

For those who don't know me, I'm Walter Bensusan, I love making videos of my trips and sharing them with you.
The idea is that they know the places with total objectivity, (as my cameras see them), and if it helps, help them choose their next destinations to visit.
If you need any questions, ask me, I will try to help you and clear up concerns regarding the places I show you.
In advance, thank you very much for watching my videos and I ask you to subscribe to the channel to help me grow on YouTube.
