Upon arrival at Lake Yehuin (Selk'nam area of the area known as "Shamans" or healers), we will take the opportunity to walk and enjoy the surroundings while preparing a delicious country snack. Lake Yehuin is of glacial origin and is crescent-shaped, in addition to being parallel to Lake Chepelmut. It contains some islands in its interior and several fjords. It empties into Lake Fagnano through a smaller river, a tributary of the Claro River, which empties into the Fagnano, so the Yehuin belongs to the Pacific Ocean basin. On its shores is the Shenolsh hill, from which views of the surrounding landscape are obtained, along with a small rural population, to the north of the lake.
