Sendero Diez Vistas (Buntzen Lake) - Hiking

Description

Sendero Diez Vistas means "Ten Viewpoints". It's possible to hike the 13km route all the way around Buntzen lake, or, as many do, you can just hike to the first viewpoint and then turn around.

This is a good low elevation hike for early in the hiking season when you're not in awesome shape yet, but it does include some good climbing, so be prepared to get a workout on the steeper sections.
