About this activity
Explore the remote Hua Hum region on a guided minivan and hiking day trip that combines Patagonian landscapes, indigenous Mapuche heritage, and dramatic waterfall views. This 6-hour excursion takes you from the windswept Pampa de Trompul plateau to pristine lakeside beaches and culminates at the symbolic Christ of Peace monument on the Argentine-Chilean border.
On this 5-hour tour by minivan, traverse the tree-less plain of Pampa de Trompul and learn about its indigenous Mapuche culture. An easy hike leads you to Lake Lácar’s Yuco beach, whose name means ‘a place away from everything,’ and the thundering Chachin Waterfall. Enjoy unbeatable views of Lake Nonghué from the settlement of Hua Hum, before reaching the Christ of Peace statue at the border.
Highlights
- ✓Easy beach hike to Yuco on Lake Lácar—a secluded spot named 'place away from everything'
- ✓Chachin Waterfall: powerful cascade in a remote mountain setting
- ✓Panoramic views of Lake Nonghué from the Hua Hum settlement
- ✓Learn about local Mapuche culture and history from your guide
- ✓Cross into the border region and visit the Christ of Peace statue
- ✓Travel through the stark, treeless Pampa de Trompul plateau
Insider tips
- ★The 'easy' hike is truly manageable for most fitness levels—no technical climbing required, but wear sturdy shoes for rocky terrain
- ★Bring a waterproof layer; Patagonian weather changes fast, and you'll be exposed on the plateau
- ★The settlement of Hua Hum is tiny—this is genuine off-the-beaten-path territory, far quieter than San Martín town
