Lakes Curruhue and Termas de Epulafquen Corridor
Land
- Full day
Total Itinerary: 132 km.
Driving for 31 km on Prov. Route 62, you will enter Lanín
National Park and Lakes Curruhue Chico and Grande. In
another 20 km you will find Laguna Verde, characterized by
low coasts and large volcanic sand beaches. In this area you can
observe a curious formation called Escorial. It is a lava layer
channeled into an old glacier valley with a length of 7,5 km and
width of 2,5 km.
The
last stage of this excursion is a 15 km trip to the Epulafquen
Hotsprings. A basic infrastructure for thermal baths and a camping
area can be found here. The border crossing to Chile, Paso Carirriñe
(only open in summer), is only meters away.
