The enchanting Meliquina and Filo Hua Hum lakes, nestled at the base of the Andes, form a breathtaking natural wonderland. Join us on this day trip from San Martin de los Andes to explore it!
Villa Meliquina & Filo Hua Hum Lake Day Trip
After picking you up from your hotel in downtown San Martin de los Andes at 2:30 pm, we'll travel southward along Route 40, an iconic road that showcases Patagonia's stunning natural landscapes en route to the lake region.
Our journey will take us across part of the famous Cordoba Pass, an alternative route to the Seven Lakes Road, which boasts equally breathtaking scenery. As we head south, we'll pass by the beautiful Lake Meliquina.
Our first stop will be at Ruca Cura, or the Stone House, a hidden cave that the local Mapuche community considers a sacred site. Inside, we'll be treated to a glimpse of cave paintings dating back over ten thousand years, providing insight into the origins of Mapuche culture. The Stone House's natural stone balcony overlooking the Caleufu River is equally impressive.
Afterward, we'll make our way to the shores of Filo Hua Hum Lake. You'll have time to explore the lake beach or try local pastries during a break on the lakeshore.
Our trip will end on a high note with a visit to Villa Meliquina, where we can snap photos of its enchanting landscapes. Legend has it that visitors should make a wish while gazing at the refractions on the lake's surface.
At 7:30 pm, we'll start our return journey to San Martin de los Andes, where we'll end the tour back at your hotel.
