Risopatrón Lake
A lake of great length with a narrows in the middle.
Témpanos Lagoon
A lagoon of intense green color. Has an information center and several short walks around the lake.
Hanging Glacier
Mass of ice that hangs from the mountain. Although it might look like any other glacier, it's the illusion that gives the glacier its name.
This impressive 30-metre waterfall is located in the middle of the jungle at the northern foot of the Queulat Pass on the Carretera Austral (40 km south of Puyuhuapi) but is essentially a roadside stop alongside Ruta 7. There is a small hiking car park from which you can quickly cover the 200 m to the waterfall.
Area surrounded by pristine flora.
Enchanted Forest
Trail in the Portezuelo Sector. The "Bosque Encantado" (enjoyed forest) is a rustic forest hike to another glacier lagoon. The starting point is the park ranger's house near the parking lot at Queulat Pass (500 m). This is about 7 km north of the junction of the spur road to Puerto Cisnes on the Carretera Austral or 50 km south of Puyuhuapi. The hike takes approximately 3 hours.
A rocky crag that falls over the Cisnes River.
40-metre waterfall located in the Cuesta del Queulat sector.
Campsite at the starting point to the hanging glacier, generously parceled out in the woods, warm shower, running water and shelter with a table at each plot.
You can only get there via the Carretera Austral, which is still gravel in this section.
