International Passes

Paso Alumine-Icalma

Leaving from Temuco you will pass through araucaria forests that will call your attention for their height and the age of their barks, which reflect the long history of local communities. You will arrive at Carabineros, the Chilean control, after passing by the beautiful Laguna de Icalma and big valleys covered by Valdivian rainforest. You will also have passed by Melipueco, Cunco, Lonquimay, and the main commercial city of Temuco, distant 135 km from the border.
Once in Argentina , there are some 50 km to Aluminé, passing by the little village of Villa Pehuenia, formed during the past few years as a relaxation a recreation spot.
Short before Aluminé and after passing the lake of the same name, you will find the sanctuary of Ceferino Namuncurá, whose homage is recreated in a natural space carved in the rock in the mountain, where an image and offerings are placed, and you can make a halt.
The height of the pass is 1269 metres above sea level, and it is open all year, except under very adverse climatic conditions.
Timetable: from 08:00 to 20:00 hs ( in summer).

Pino Hachado Pass

It is open year round and it could only be closed in extreme weather conditions. It travels through the valley of the Litran River, in a landscape dominated by monkey puzzle trees. It joins the Chilean cities of Lonquimay, Curacautín, Lautaro and Temuco.

It goes through an ancient tunnel constructed by the British to connect the bordering commercial area with the Atlantic coast in a corridor now used by vehicles, which is being remodelled as a bioceanic corridor. Its length is 4.500 m., and when Chile is reached, other minor tunnels -now abandoned- may be observed at diferent heights.

The present rate is 400 Chilean Pesos for private vehicles, the equivalent to u$s 1, approximately.
