Introducing Lago Calafquén
Black-sand beaches and gardens draw tourists to this island-studded lake, especially at fashionable Lican Ray (30km south of Villarrica) and more down-to-earth Coñaripe (22km east of Lican Ray). Out of season, it’s dead. Lican Ray’s tourist office (045-431-516; Urritia 310), directly on the plaza, offers maps and accommodations listings. Coñaripe’s Turismo Aventura Chumay (045-317-287; Las Tepas 201) rents bikes and has area information and tours. Coñaripe has access to rustic hot springs and other sides of the park that tourists rarely tread.
