Seven Lakes (Chile) facts for kids
The Seven Lakes (called Siete Lagos in Spanish) is a beautiful group of lakes in Chile. These lakes are all connected! They are part of the same drainage basin, which means all their water flows together. This water journey starts in Lácar Lake and eventually reaches Corral Bay.
All seven lakes are found at least partly within the area of Panguipulli. This area is very popular for tourism. Imagine being surrounded by four amazing volcanoes: Villarrica, Quetrupillán, Lanín, and Mocho-Choshuenco!
Because of the heat from deep inside the Earth (called geothermal activity), there are many hot springs in this area. One famous hot spring area is Liquiñe.
