Take in the natural beauty at Laguna Cochor
Leave Pucón and drive in the direction of Curarrehue with your Chilean tour guide.
Continue to the Maichín Valley. On a shortstop, visit the breathtaking pedestrian bridge Pasarela Basa Grande that spans over a deep gorge.
Head upriver into the valley, sometimes plain and wide, sometimes narrow and steep. You get a view of the Malalco waterfall, one of the highest in this area.
Reach Quiliche, the starting point for the hike, after about 2 hours of driving. The first part leads you through a young forest of Ñirre (a member of the Nothofagus family). Later the trail gets steeper, and the vegetation turns lusher when you enter the national reserve.
In a clearing, you get the first look at your goal, the Torre Cochor, a volcanic plateau overgrown by dense vegetation with thousand-year-old araucaria trees.
After a steeper part of the trail, reach the highest point and start walking down to the Cochor lagoon. Spend about 2 hours exploring the area around the lagoon. Also, visit the smaller Laguna Chica.
Have lunch, or you can even go for a swim.
Drive toward Pucón with a few more photo stops on the way.
