Lake Tranquilo

Lago Tranquilo

A high mountain lake at the entrance to the Exploradores valley, surrounded by snowy peaks and forest. Its still water mirrors the mountains, making it a scenic stop on the drive.

Lago Tranquilo lies about 10 km west of the village. It is the source of the Tranquilo River. There are a few small guesthouses and campsites on the shore, and you can fish or go kayaking. Heading west along the Carretera Exploradores, the lake and mountain scenery unfolds step by step. It pairs well with La Nutria Waterfall and the Exploradores Glacier. Entry is free, but there are no facilities, so bring your own supplies.
