The lake is nestled amidst the vastness of the Andes Mountains. It's worth pausing for a moment to observe the reflection of the hills and feel the tranquility of the place.

Beyond the Horizon

October 18, 2024

Lago Chico, nestled in the breathtaking Andean landscape, offers a tranquil retreat for hikers seeking peace and nature. The trail leads you through a wide, open landscape framed by snow-capped mountain peaks. The rolling hills and expansive meadows, often dotted with small bushes and scattered trees, are particularly striking. It's an ideal place to let your thoughts wander, feel the cool breeze from the lake, and absorb the profound silence.

The lake's shore invites you to pause and enjoy the view of the serene waters, where the mountain scenery is reflected in the surface. The area around Lago Chico also offers several interesting trails for shorter hikes that take you deeper into the surroundings. It's a wonderful place to end the day and savor the peace of nature.
