What to see
Caviahue
It is the best place to use as a base. Several short trails begin at this point, like the Seven Waterfalls circuit or the Escondida Waterfall circuit.
In winter, Caviahue turns into a ski resort and it is a great place to walk with snowshoes or ride snowmobiles surrounded by monkey puzzle tree forests.
The Caviahue Lake is the perfect spot for wildlife photography, in a setting decorated by countless volcanic rock formations of whimsical shapes and monkey puzzle trees up to 30 metres high.
Agrio Waterfall
A landscape hard to describe: you need to see it for yourself. Located around 10 km away from Caviahue, this waterfall is an amazing example of the erosive action of the water, where the river falls into a colourful 45-metre dip (tinted by the mineral-rich waters).
Copahue Hot Springs
17 km away from Caviahue, following a gravel road, you will discover Copahue hot springs, a resort popular for the variety and quality of its waters, mud and algae. Between June and September, you can reach the hot springs with a tour by snowmobile or tracked vehicle to dive in their open-air thermal pools in the middle of the snow.
Copahue Volcano
To climb the volcano from Copahue, you can ascend the first stretch by car and then you need to continue the last part on foot along a trail bordering the drainage basin of the Agrio River. The hike up to the crater takes 5 hours, round trip. Once there, you will discover a lake and amazing views of the mountain range. In winter, special vehicles are required for the most part of the trail. It is recommended to climb with certified guides.
