In short
A lagoon in the northern sector of Conguillío National Park, with a trail among araucarias.

- Birdwatching (source: Araucanía Andina).
- Los Carpinteros trail: starts near the lagoon and leads to the Araucaria Madre (same source); it takes 3 to 4 hours (source: CONAF, quoted by Meteored).
