It is a wonderful place. I know this because I visited him on other occasions. But I want to leave this opinion so that what happened to me does not happen to them this time. After traveling an hour and a half, I arrive at the beginning of the trail at the base of the volcano, and I find out that the trail is closed because the Mapuche community has its week of ceremonies. Closed from January 24 to 29. A disappointment. Ask before you go there.

There is a great hike starting opposite the tourist office on Lago Huechulafquen which takes you to the base of the Lanin. You go for the hike which is through varied woodlands rather than the destination. They say allow 8 hours return but we did it in an easy 7 hours.
You need to sign in at the tourist office but the walk is relatively easy if you are ok fit, anyway even 2-3 hours of it would be good.

We definitely recommend to do the 2-days hike to the top if you feel fit enough. This is an easy 3776m summit to do and for people unsure of them, there is plenty of companies offering to guide you to the top.
We hike the first day to the Refugio CAJA and enjoyed this first day. You are walking in a special environment with only volcanic rocks surrounding you, no vegetation. Just take plenty of water as you don't cross any streams (we did it at the end of the summer so they were no snow left). The night was quite cold as you are at almost 3000m and we slept in the tent. A bit before 5am, we start climbing the remaining kms to the top. It was a bit more difficult as the track is less well marked and we were self-guide. So it has been for us a bit of a challenge finding our way up but there was a group with a guide that start 30 min before us so we were able to follow more or less their head-torch lights.
The view from the summit was amazing and breathtaking.
The walk back down was long and painful :) but it so much worth it!!
Definitely a must-do

Recommended to everyone, who enjoys hiking. There are many trails with different levels of difficulties and duration. Plan at least half a day to visit the park, but multiple day stay is worthwhile nontheless. Unfortunately, aIgadn’t enough time to do a long hike, instead I did the ‘Cascada El Saltillo’ trail, which leads to a lovely waterfall at the end. Other activities such as boat trips, kayaking or swimming can be done too..
Roads are unpaved and varies in their condition (incl. some very bumpy sections). I was fine with an non-4x4 small car, but I imagine it becomes a difficult to impossible task, when roads are wet.
Park entry was 350 arg. Pesos p.p. (see photo of price list)
Opening hours of the park office: 8am to 8:00pm

Great hiking to a waterfall, to the base of Lanin! I rate good rather than excellent only because our visit was in dry season and hikes were very dusty. Chilly mornings and evenings were refreshing and bird and sunset watching were excellent!

Great view , really nice trail. A truly remarkable experience . Two days hike , first day up to Refugio La Caja, and leaving at 4am towards the summit . Crampons needed. Awesome view of nearby volcanos such as Villarica. Really worth the hike! Need really good physical condition for this, very steep hike with rocks , snow and ice.

Mount Lanin is spectacularly beautiful. My wife and I had the pleasure of staying a week in Junin de los Andes for outstanding fly fishing with Jack Trout internatonal. We took a day off from catching big browns on dry fly to drive up into the Lanin National Park for an exhilarating hike up to the base camp of the Volcan Lanin -- absolutely beautiful! And a very easy going hike. After the base camp of course it's serious mountaineering. Enjoy!!!

The National Park is very well organized, there is a trail from which you can start the ascent to the base of the volcano, through a magnificent forest of araucaria trees!

This is as good as it gets for an extreme mountain adventure ... if you are fairly fit and up for a challenge, climbing Volcan Lanin is demanding but doable, with a little luck from your legs, the weather and, importantly, your mindset. One third of the people who attempt to summit desist because they think it too daunting. That was nearly the case of my 14 year old son - who thought that trekking for 13 hours on Day 2 was beyond his capacity. He made it and it will be the jewel in his crown of achievements - perhaps for a lifetime ... or until he does it again.
By way of preparation, try climbing as many stairs as you can and bring all the appropriate gear as the conditions are constantly changing.

A majestic volcano right in the international limit between Argentina and Chile. A personal all-time favorite to climb.

El tramo de ripio y tierra en la ruta 60 de Argentina hasta llegar a Mamuil Malal, ¿está muy deteriorado?, ¿se maltrata mucho el auto?
Written February 12, 2019
Y sí, hay un tramo como de 11km que es de ripio y si vas en camioneta no es tanto pero en auto, te lo castiga bastante, (y en época de nieve es peor). Ojalá lo arreglen pronto porque es una zona bellísima

Hola se puede hacer en julio y sin nieve? Y sin auto..?
Written June 4, 2018
En Julio esta todo cubierto de nieve el Lanin, es recomendable hacerlo con Guia, con equipo adecuado y tener experiencia de ascensos en nieve.
Es lo que te piden cuando te registras, el camino esta habilitado con precaución hasta el puesto de Guardaparques, de ahí salis caminando a la base del Volcán 2 km, el transporte lo podes contratar en Junin.

Holaa,queria hacer un par de preguntas sobre el lugar...

Desde ya , graciass
Written January 4, 2018
Sí, se puede acceder a los alrededores del volcán con mascotas, al ingreso esta la oficina de Parques donde se debe avisar que estarán visitando los alrededores, no hay que abonar nada y no hace falta guía.
El es solo para el ascenso al volcán.

Se puede hacer el volcán Lanin a pie? Somos un grupo de jóvenes y queremos recorrerlo pero no contamos con transporte privado.
Written September 2, 2017
Claro que se puede recorrer a pie, hay senderos y refugios para todos los grados de dificultad, desde un simple trekking hasta la base del volcan por un hermoso bosque, hasta hacer cumbre si sos escalador profesional.
Tenes que tomarte algun trasporte desde Jdl Andes hasta el puesto del parque nacional.
La vista del volcan es algo impactante, es mucho mas grande de lo que imaginas y ademas es un cono perfecto con la punta nevada como veiamos en los dibujitos cuando eramos chicos.

Hola, voy a ir a Junín de los Andes sin coche. Me gustaría si alguien me puede recomendar alguna agencia de turismo para hacer las excursiones y qué lugares no hay que perderse. Muchas gracias.
Written October 23, 2016
Estuve en Junín de los Andes y me maneje perfectamente sin auto ni agencias de turismo. Hay servicios regulares de omnibus hasta Puerto Canoa a orillas del Lago Huechulafquen. Es un hermoso lugar para quedarse varios dias en las hosterias o campings de la zona y realizar varias caminatas o navegaciones.

Hola, me gustaria saber si de verdad es tan exigente como dicen y si una persona sin experiencia previa en este tipo de actividades, pero con buen estado fisico lo puede hacer. gracias
Written July 30, 2016
No hice la caminata al Volcán Lanín, solo estuve dos años seguidos visitando sus alrrededores que son preciosos. Pero creo que debes tener un poco de experiencia en caminatas, de todas maneras puedes consultar al ingreso del Parque, hay guías y son los que organizan excursiones por la zona y pueden informarte al respecto

Hola, como es el camino desde Junin de los Andes hasta el volcàn para ir en auto?
Written October 6, 2015
Hola Lucas, saliendo de la Ciudad vas a encontarte con camino de ripio, en buen estado; no hay pendientes pronunciadas que te obliguen a maniobras de riesgo, pero si bien el ripio puede parecer seguro, la presencia de serruchos en la superficie, te obliga a conducir a baja velocidad para no dañar el tren delantero, cómo así también las diferentes piezas de tu vehículo. Situación que cambia, si vas en pick up o camionetas de doble tracción. Mas allá de este aspecto, también te vas a encontrar con muchos conductores que no respetan esa velocidad y levantan mucha nube de polvo, lo que te obliga a estar atento, mas aún si vas tomando fotografías o apreciando el aire de la patagonia. Tratándose de que el camino es un paso internacional, no todos circulan disfrutando el entorno.
