Lago Calafquén is a stunning glacially-formed lake nestled in the heart of Chile's Lake Region, situated in the La Araucanía and Los Ríos regions of southern Chile. Its name derives from the Mapudungun language, meaning "another lake," and it sits as part of a remarkable chain of lakes that includes the famous Lago Villarrica just upstream. The lake is framed by the dramatic backdrop of the Villarrica Volcano and surrounded by the lush Valdivian rainforest, creating one of the most visually spectacular fishing environments in all of South America. The towns of Lican Ray, Coñaripe, and Calafquén dot its shores, offering anglers a range of services and accommodations. The waters of Lago Calafquén are notably clear, and the lake is recognized as a premier destination for sport fishing within the Seven Lakes Circuit of the Los Ríos Region.
