Site to find an underground river source that flows into a lake to form eye-like wells.
It is the source of an underground river that flows into Lake Caburgua and forms wells that look like eyes. The water has absolutely sumptuous blue and green hues. 5 km away lies Lake Caburgua, of volcanic origin, with warm waters and surrounded by wooded hills. The black sand beach is congested in summer (campsites, restaurants, etc.), but it is possible to walk about 3 km around the lake (left side) to reach a white sand beach (geological curiosity, due to crystalline rocks), also very popular in summer, where it is possible to camp or stay in more comfortable hosterías. However, avoid swimming. This beach is also accessible by car (attention, parking is charged). It's a nice walk to consider as a family: you take pictures, relax, take your time. From the Refugio Playa Blanca, a trail leads into the 118.2 hectare Namuncahue Protected Area, a distance of about 8.5 km to the base camp. You can admire beautiful araucaria forests. A guardaparque will then accompany you to a fascinating and spectacular viewpoint over the lakes and volcanoes of the region (only about 4 km away, but be careful, it is not all flat). This trek is still very little known, and only ten people a day are accepted. Also note that these "eyes" are located on two private properties.
