One of my favourite place

From San Martin de los Andes, a one day excursion to the huechulafquen lake. This is now a natural reserve where the natives (mapuche community) try to get back part of what was once them. On the way there is a small "research" center where the reproduce trouts. I also had an interesting hypnotization experience with a lama.

Lama hypnotization!

On the way to the Huechulafquen lake and the Piamun chapel, the view on the Lanin volcan is just great.

The place at the end of the road is just a little paradise to me although it is not "exclusive" as it used to be. The road is now wider and better so that more tourists reach the place. It is still quiet somehow. The lake, this little chapel, that tree with such a strange shape, the wind and also the fact that you would not expect such things at the end of a road going to nowhere. That is just nice

Inside the chapel, the mapuche version is quite something.
