- Lago Llanquihue - Our journey begins in Puerto Varas, known as “The City of Roses,” and takes us along the shores of Llanquihue Lake towards Osorno Volcano. We’ll marvel at the stunning scenery featuring the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes until we reach Ensenada, where we start our ascent to the Osorno Ski Mountain center, situated at an altitude of 1,240 meters.
- Volcan Osorno - We will spend about an hour here, providing ample time for sightseeing, photography, and admiring the unique view of the volcano’s summit with its eternal snow glaciers, the Calbuco volcano, Llanquihue Lake, and the Pacific Ocean. Guests have the option to enjoy a cup of coffee or a sandwich at the local café or take the lift to ascend to 1,450 meters at Primavera Station (Spring) or 1,750 meters at Glaciar Station (Glacier), where breathtaking views of Llanquihue Lake await.
- Saltos del Petrohue - By paying an entrance fee to the National Park, we can visit one of the country’s most beautiful spots, the “Petrohué River Falls.” Here, the river cascades over massive, centuries-old crystallized lava formations, creating a stunning display of light and stone. This is a sight you won’t want to miss.
- Lago Todos Los Santos - From there, we continue for about 5 km along the slopes of Osorno Volcano and the Petrohue River to Todos Los Santos Lake. Here, you can take photos or board a vessel for a 40-minute sail across Todos Los Santos Lake, also known as Esmeralda. The journey is surrounded by evergreen forests, mountains, and the majestic volcanoes, creating a simply spectacular natural setting.

Don't miss the Petrohue. It's amazing. - The place is spectacular. I was unlucky, and you could not see the Osorno, because we were wrapped in clouds.But the Petrohue is dreamy.

A beautiful introduction to the Chilean lakes! - The Chilean Lake District is very special - we saw sun, clouds, and rain in the same hour. We also saw the mountains, volcanoes and lakes. We stopped for lunch too. A great day. Thank you Alejandro!

Unforgettable tour - The tour is very complete, the volcano is beautiful and the waterfalls are quite different in relation to the color of the water and the combination with the volcano gives an amazing landscape. What I didn't like was the lunch, restaurant very bad, by the way to eat well in Chile has to look a lot. I bought the package on TripAdvisor via the internet and it was much more expensive than buying in Puerto Varas. Let me buy there.

A great experience - A great experience in Puerto Varas. Our guide Nelly was knowledgeable and made this tour fun. She gave us lots of information and answered our questions. It was snowing when we got to the Orsorno Volcano. It was an amazing site. I highly recommend this tour.

The wonders of the South - The south is wonderful, its landscapes invite us to contemplate the great beauty of our country and makes us feel that we are in paradise. We have a long way to go, beautiful sands cove, I took a look at the beginning of the southern road, which will be our next adventure.

Beautiful nature spots - This is an excellent tour, three beautiful places and walks. We had a fantastic guide called Jenny. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because the tour ended with going to a restaurant for lunch which was not mentioned in the itinerary and not included. I had taken my own lunch but felt obliged to eat in the restaurant
