Tricahue Natural Park

34 KM from Ecorefugio

The Tricahue Circuit is the classic route to get to know the native forest of the VII Region. Starting in a sector dominated by a sclera forest. That then gives way to the infrequent hualos. To continue, with oaks, coihues and even long-leaf mañíos.

This circuit allows you to get to know a native forest that was once destined for logging and that today fortunately is protected.

As a vestige of the old forest exploitation, an old locommobile can be found during the journey, called the Engine, which was once used to cut down the beautiful forest and which today is another attraction of the circuit.

Lake Colbún

In Ecorefugio

With 5,700 hectares and 1,490 million cubic meters, Lake Colbún is the largest artificial reservoir in Chile. Located in the Maule region, it was built between 1980 and 1985 in order to retain the waters of the river of the same name, which are used for irrigation and for the production of hydroelectric power.

In the summer period its waters reach a temperature of 23° C. For this reason, and because of the warm weather during the summer months, it is widely used for the practice of water sports. Its waters are very transparent, since the Maule River drags very little mountain sediment.
