About
Quick facts: The dock was once one of the unloading points for the Titanic in South America, witnessing the transition between steam-powered and wooden sailing ship eras. The lake sees daily traffic of yachts and sightseeing boats, creating a beautiful aquatic tableau.
Highlights: The reflections on the lake make visitors feel as if they are in a painting, especially at dusk, when the orange sunlight mingles with the silhouette of distant mountains to form a marvelous scene. Local fishermen still keep traditional fishing techniques, rowing small wooden boats across the calm waters, showing the charm of an ancient lifestyle.
Insider tips
- Wear a windproof jacket, as the wind by the lake is strong and cool.
- Choose to visit on a clear day to ensure clear views.
- Arrive early to avoid the afternoon peak of visitors.
- Bring a camera or phone to capture the stunning moment of the sunset reflecting on the water.
