== General Description ==
An excellent trek for the day. Ideal for vacationers of Pucón nuances the holidays with a different day. It includes a walk through the coigüe forest, araucarias, a walk over the limit of the vegetation at the foot of the [[Quetrupillán Volcano]], a sublime view of the [[Volcán Villarrica Volcano]] and a very good view of the [[Volcán Lanín Volcano]] ] The final destination is compensated with a waterfall on the edge of a little-visited mountain lagoon.
== Appropriate time ==
* '''Trekking''': November to April. Although in November and December there will still be enough snow in some sections. In January, the problem will be annoying [[Glossary # C | coliguachos]], which at times can be really uncomfortable.
* '''Randonnée''': June to September. Only in the middle of winter will it be possible to find Hidden Paradise with snow, thus dispensing with loading the skis.
== Description of the route ==
[[File:Volcan Quetrupillan (52).jpg|thumb|Extremo sur de Laguna Azul]]
The route starts at Fundo Porvenir (1040 masl), from the side of the Ulloa family's house, the owners of the property.
You must start the walk in direction E (the volcano is seen in the background). A few meters from the start of the walk, immediately after crossing the barbed wire that closes the Ulloa garden, there is a sign: to the right, by a narrow path, it is towards Blue Lagoon. If you continue straight, you will go to the summit of [[Quetrupillán Volcano]] and [[Circuito Quetrupillán Circuit - Laguna Blanca - Blue LagoonLaguna Azul]]
The route loses part with a little slope advancing towards the southeast, and runs parallel to a stream. A few hundred meters, however, the vegetation becomes denser and the slope greater.
== Expected Time ==
Consider 4.5 to 5 hours of promotion, and 3.5 hours of return.
There is a conflict regarding charges for use of the trail. There are two owners, currently in legal dispute, through which the trail passes. The owners of Fundo Porvenir could only charge for the use of the bathrooms and parking. As of January 2018, {{Quetrupillan Permitspesos to dollars | 3000}}per person is charged. The rest of the trail, even before reaching the Villarrica National Park, is owned by another owner. Depending on the luck, you can meet the guy (called Rodrigo) who currently charges the "right to step" (be careful with him, says being the representative of society, walks on horseback, is armed with a gun and machete and with a Akita race dog and another mestizo). According to the instruction that he gives, the property belongs to a company called Campo la Montaña, it must be notified 24 hours in advance. The access value is {{pesos to dollars | 5000}}. The notice must be made to the mobile +56999786153 and emails cuo@holdingfrontera.com and luisfelipediaz21@hotmail.com. For payment, deposit or transfer of funds can be made to the current account of Banco Santander No. 65-66275-2 under the name of Asesorías e Inversiones Lito S.A., RUT 76.147.759-5. Once the payment is informed, a document of release of civil liability will be sent via e-mail, which must be delivered signed at the moment of starting the promotion, or else carry this document in case of meeting the caregiver. Those who do not comply with this requirement and are not registered will not be allowed to enter the access path. It is also possible to camp in Fundo Porvenir. It charges $ 5,000 per person per night, but is only charged if you camp on the same farm.
== Recommendations ==
{{Checklist | Type 1 equipment checklist: low altitude route, without camping, snow or cold}}
* For much of the year, the route is covered in snow. It is much more challenging to make this route when the path is not visible. Special attention should be paid to the sharp turn to the southeast.
