Huechulafquen Lake

Huechulafquen Lake, named by the native Mapuche of Argentina’s Andes to mean ‘long lake’ or ‘lake at the end,’ stretches for 19 miles (30 kilometers) and is the largest of the 24 lakes in Lanin National Park. Its azure waters are a striking feature, set against the backdrop of the conical, snow-capped Lanin Volcano, which rises 12,388 feet (3,776 meters) on the northern shore. Visitors can experience the serene beauty of the elongated lake and the imposing presence of the volcano, making it a notable destination in San Martin de los Andes.
