About this activity
Discover three remote Patagonian landmarks—Hua Hum, Quila Quina, and Chachin Waterfall—on a 7-hour boat journey across pristine glacial lakes ringed by Andes peaks and sub-Antarctic forests. This excursion combines water-based adventure with immersion in Argentina's frontier history and untouched natural landscape.
The excursion to Hua Hum by boat is a pleasant tour that crosses the crystalline waters of the Patagonian lakes and like many of glacial origin. Lakes surrounded by the Andes Mountains, covered with vegetation, mostly native to sub-Antarctic forests. They have great prominence in the foundation and colonization of the Argentine territory, and in the progress of the city of San Martin de los Andes.
