With views of nearby volcanoes, among the monkey puzzle trees and clean air a trek into Huerquehue Park is a memorable experience. More

easy to access from Pucon, this national park is a real find of you like walking. You can get up to the lakes in 2 hours or so, a bit steep towards the end buit the lakes up the top are gorgeous. Heaps of bird life also and the vegetation changes a lot throughout the walk. Definitely recommended as a... More

3 lakes are so pretty! I am surprised that not so many travelers go there for a day hike. It's not far away from the city and very easy to reach by buses from Pucon, cost about 5000 pesos return. It's suitable for anyone, unlike the volcano hike. we went there on a sunny day, the view was fantastic!!! absolutely... More

We did the Tres Lagos hike on one of the few sunny days and there was quite a lot of people taking the morning bus to the park. When arriving there at 9.45 am, we had quite some people walking in front or behind us, but it got better after walking for a while. The path is quite demanding -... More

Well, its the vibe of the place! We stayed in the National Park- at Refugio Tinquillo- and all we can say is that the owners have created a truly special place! We stayed for 2 nights and wanted to go back for another few days but our plans got changed... to be serenaded by beautiful guitar music each morning at... More

It was impressive that there are so many beaitiful lakes near the top of trail. We planned 3 nights camping as Lonely Planet Trekking say. However when we arrived at camp site at the end of first day. There was only one another person. We realize that most are doing day trek. Moreover one couple has lost companion at stiff... More

Do be sure to get proper directions to the Park and trail access. It is a little vague. The popular lakes trail was gorgeous but truly steep. We are decent hikers and did not reach the lakes after 2 and a half hours of hiking. We thought the 3.5 hr. designation was round trip...no, we learned, one way. We stopped... More

Getting up to the Tres Lagos is strenuous; don't let anybody tell you different! (We encountered a large American family where at least two of the older family members were struggling badly, though they had been told by some tour-guide type that this was an 'easy' walk, or the like. They weren't bitter about it, but tour guides in this... More
