Tour A: Picnic in Conguillio National Park. We drive via Cunco and Melipeuco to the entrance-gate of Conguillio National Park, one of Chile’s most beautiful parks. After the registration we do a little hike to the waterfalls. Passing by lava-fields, we admire lakes and lagoons with iridescent colors, primeval forests, with 1000 years-old Araucaria- and other trees and springs. According to your mood and physical conditions we go for more hikes and consume then our picnic. After our return we have a rich
dinner at Adela y Helmut.
Tour B: Swimming and Kayaking in lake Colico. In Cunco we visit the archeological Museum. After Crossing the river Allipen, we leave the paved road and reach the western shore of lake Colico. Along the coast we take a narrow road which leads us between rocks, trees and blooming bushes to Trafampulli-Beach. The shallow water invites to
bath or swim. You may rent kayaks, horses or bicycles as well. Close to the shore we have picnic. We return by on the same road. We reach Adela y Helmut in time for
dinner.
Tour C: Wellness day in the thermal-
baths Geometricas. Via Villarica we reach the lake Calafquen and following the shore to Conaripe. Leaving the asphalted road, we wind us up a narrow road between forests and rocks, until we reach the thermal-
baths. Here we find some wooden houses with grass covered roofs and numerous clean thermal
pools, built directly in the rocks. The whole complex is developed by wooden footbridges, over a river. An unforgettable experience. Before we head back, we eat our snack. A quick city
tour shows us Villarica. Adela awaits us for
dinner Tour D: Climbing the Volcano Batea Mahuida in Argentinia by Jeep. Following the Allipen-Valley we reach the western slopes of the Andes passing by Cunco and Melipeuco. The gravel-road winds up, following a small valley to the pass. Passing by primeval forests and Araucarias we reach the frontier-post Icalma, where we settle the visa formalities. By our 4-WD car we climb the extinguished volcano Batea Mahuida. Up there, we enjoy the beautiful outlook over 4 volcanoes, and a lake-scenery. If you’re interested, we can hike around the crater-lake. On the shore of one of three lakes (Moquehue, Alumine and Icalma) we take a rest and have a snack. Passing the frontiers, we have to take care, getting another immigration-form of Chile. We close the day with a great
dinner at Adela y Helmut.
Tour E: To the pacific coast, following the river Tolten to Queule. Passing by Freire we drive through the potato-region of Teodoro-Schmidt and Hualpin. After Nueva Tolten, Queule awaits us. By motorboat we do a small
trip along the bay. We visit the small fishing-harbor and the mini fish-market. Heading over the mountain we have a wonderful outlook on the bays of Queule and Mehuin. Provided the weather is good, we take a sunbath at Mehuin-Beach. Most people don’t like swimming in the cold pacific. There we find a place for having our picnic. We return late, on highway 5 and San Jose de la Mariquina and have
dinner at Adela y Helmut.

In Temuco, depending on the weather-conditions and your interests, we visit the Mapuche-Museum, the Railway-Museum, and the Mercado-Municipal, one of Chile’s most important handicraft-markets with many small
restaurants. In one of them, we have
lunch. The nature reserve Cerro Nielol offers a splendid view over Temuco. Walking over the main square, with big palm-trees and water-fountain, you may observe the busy town-

steam-machines are exposed in an open-air museum. They served as motors for harvesting- and other agricultural machines in the beginning of the 20th century. Along the river Imperial and across the coastal mountains, we drive to the “loberia“, where we may see occasionally sea-lions. The Pacific Ocean cut interesting shapes of the rocks at the beach. We pass through the small fisher-town Puerto Saavedra and walk a little bit on the black, sandy beach, close to Boca Budi. Only people, who don’t mind the chilly water will have a swim in the pacific. Crossing the peninsula Huapi, we can see many black-necked swans on the lake Budi. Before returning, we have picnic.
