Lago Verde & Río Arrayanes
Lago Verde / Río Arrayanes
Where the emerald waters of the northern part of the national park meet the clear river, a suspension bridge trail runs through myrtle forest. It is the park's most popular short walk.
The Río Arrayanes connects Lago Verde and Lago Menéndez, and its waters are crystal clear. Both banks are covered in myrtle (arrayán) forests with orange bark. From the parking lot, cross the suspension bridge over the river (La Pasarela). A loop trail of about 1 km leads to the sandy beaches and viewpoints where the lake and river meet, and it connects to the trail towards Puerto Chucao. Nearby Lago Verde has jade-green water, where you can swim and kayak in summer, and there is a campground by the lake. The trail is gentle, and it takes 30 to 60 minutes to walk, which makes it ideal for families.
