Elizalde Lake

Región de Aysén
General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo

With an area equivalent to 2,500 hectares, the Elizalde Lake is the most well known lake in the Aisén Region. It forms part of a group of 5 lakes that flow westwards, to Puerto Aisén. You can reach this place heading through a gravel road.

This lake measures an average of 25. km in length and 2 km in width, and is surrounded by dense forests of Chiloe's Coigue and Lenga Beech. Its features make it an ideal location for recreational activities that allow you to explore the area, do some trout fishing, horseriding or bike excursions. There's also an area for camping or finding refuge, and "La Cascada" inn.

Near the west shore of the lake, you will find the Caro Lake. You can arrive at both lakes in small vessels.
