San Martín de los Andes: Hua Hum, Yuco Beaches, and Chachín Waterfall

Drive around Lake Lácar, explore Yuco, and venture into the Valdivian Rainforest until you reach the spectacular Chachín Waterfall.
Depart from San Martín de los Andes on Route 48 and drive along the shore of Lake Lácar, enjoying various scenic stops with spectacular views of the mountain range, the lake, and the rock formations typical of the region.

During the tour, you'll see the Trompul Stone, a geological and cultural icon of the area, as you pass through forests of oak, coihue, and raulí trees that gradually give way to the lush Valdivian Rainforest.

One of the highlights of the excursion is the Yuco Peninsula, where you'll find small bays with volcanic sand and turquoise waters. You'll be able to take a short hike and enjoy this natural environment before continuing your journey.

About 60 km from San Martín de los Andes is the historic Van Dorsser Castle, a building of Dutch origin that now serves as a museum. The tour then continues to the Chachín Waterfall area, where an approximately 30-minute hike through the lush Valdivian Rainforest begins.

The trail leads to a vantage point from where you can admire an impressive waterfall about 30 meters high, surrounded by the vegetation typical of this ecosystem.

On the way back, you'll make a final stop at the Hostería Hua Hum, where you can rest, have a snack, and walk over to the pier to enjoy views of Lake Nonthué.

An ideal excursion to discover mountain landscapes, lakes, forests, and the Valdivian rainforest, combining nature, history, and hikes in one of the most unique corners of Patagonia.
