Itinerary

1. Around the Lake Llanquihue

   • Meet your driver and guide at your hotel. Bordering the south lake Llanquihue across the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, visit the resort of Ensenada and the Petrohue River Falls. 
   • The tour will continue to the Osorno Volcano Ski Resort, 1200 mts asl. (3937 feet asl.) you will get spectacular views of Mt Tronador, Volcano Puntiagudo, Llanquihue Lake, and if it is clear enough, even the Reloncavi sound and, of course, the whole valley of Petrohue River.
   • Continuation to the northern border of Llanquihue Lake, driving across some of the least visited sides of the lake where agriculture and cattle ranches take part of the local economy, passing through Cascadas village. 
   • We will reach the picturesque village of Puerto Octay, located on a quiet bay enclosed by the Centinela Peninsula and then to the city of Frutillar, with its houses built in the German style with lovely gardens representing the architecture in the mid 30/s when the first settlers arrived to begin a hard-working life in the south. This charming and well-kept village has a superb view of Osorno Volcano. 
   • During this beautiful and enjoyable road, we will see the German-style houses and barns that once represented that wealthy economy during the IXX century and according to the time of the year, many products from the earth such as raps, oats, potatoes or beetroots plantations and cattle ranches.
   • Of course, the Osorno volcano, with its unique snowed cone, dominates the whole lake. 
   • We arrive at the village where you will have free time to look around or visit the German Museum (entrance not included) that shows many of the machinery used, water mill, houses and lovely gardens. Or enjoy the views by having an excellent coffee and kuchen (cake) at a traditional teahouse. 
   • The last stretch of the drive goes along the coast between Frutillar and Llanquihue towns to finally cross the only river that flows out of the lake, the Maullin River. Our return to Puerto Varas will be along the 10-minute ride along the route n 5. We will say goodbye at your hotel.
