Tinquilco Lake, Glacial lake in Huerquehue National Park, Pucón, Chile
Located at 700 meters elevation, Tinquilco Lake spans 1.1 square kilometers of water surface and flows into the Quinchol River system.
The lake formation occurred through glacial processes during the last ice age, creating a network of interconnected water bodies in the Araucanía Region.
The surrounding territory holds significance for Mapuche communities who have maintained their traditions and connections to the natural environment.
The lake marks the starting point of the Tres Lagos hiking trail, leading visitors to Lago Chico, Lago Toro, and Laguna Verde.
The lake basin contains the second largest Coihue tree in Chile, standing among minimally disturbed native forests.
