On our fourth day we arranged for an easy daytrip to the lakes within national park Huerquehue, just 20min. from our holiday home. Well, it turned out to be quite a strenuous hike, going up steeply for some 2-3 hours before even reaching the first lake! But is was well worth the struggle. Once up there, we were rewarded with great panoramic views of the smoking Villarriva Volcano, waterfalls, warm lakes and sandy beaches.
However, looking over to the volcano also made us feel uneasy, because we signed up for climbing that 2852m crater the very next morning... it would be so much higher than what exhausted us wannabe-athletes already!
