Blue sky Andean peaks and Temperate Rain Forest trees mirrored in the crystal clear waters of El Encanto Lagoon, Peulla, Chile

---

With surrounding mountain peaks and forest trees mirrored in the crystal clear water, the charming El Encanto Lagoon lies at the head of the Rio Negro, a few kilometres north-east of Peulla, in the Chilean Lake District. Peulla is the port at the eastern end of Lake Todos los Santos, on the first leg of the Andean Lakes Route from Puerto Varas, Chile, to Bariloche, Argentina. The village and its hotels are surrounded by blue and emerald green lake and river waters. Tourists can break their journey there, before continuing over the Perez Rosales Andean Pass to Puerto Frias and the lake journey to Bariloche. For those staying at Peulla, Turis Tour Guides offer horse-back, walking and 4x4 tours into the local landscape. Tours start from Rigi Farm, 2 kilometres west of Peulla.
