context_page_description: Huechulafquen Lake is a lake in Neuquén Province, Patagonian Argentina. This glacial lake is located in the Andean mountains in Lanín National Park some 25 kilometres from Junín de los Andes and 60 kilometres from San Martín de los Andes. It is one of Argentina's largest Andean lakes and is fed by glacier and meltwater streams and lakes.
context_section_description: Lake Huechulafquen is a popular tourist destination for camping, hiking, boating, climbing Lanin volcano, and fishing for rainbow and brown trout, species introduced to Argentine in the early 1900s.  A road runs along the north shore of the lake, passing through several communities of the Mapuche people, who live within the boundaries of Lanin National Park. Another road touches along the southern shoreline of Lake Epulaufquén providing access to the volcanic flows there.  This road continues westward, crossing into Chile at the Carirriñe Pass, elevation 1,223 metres (4,012 ft).
