Located in the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, Petrohué River delights with its rapids. After a violent eruption of the Osorno Volcano, basaltic material gave rise to this attraction that runs through the evergreen forest.
The Osorno Volcano is part of National Park and its height is 2650 meters. A complete panoramic view of Lake Llanquihue Lake and part of the Andes is possible in a sunny day. The vehicle reaches an altitude of 1,200 meters on asphalted road where there is a cafeteria and ski center. In addition, it is possible to reach 1400 meters by liftchairs.
Puerto Varas is considered the tourist capital of southern Chile. The peaceful life of streets, visitors and locals enjoy the beautiful view and its surroundings. Influenced by the German colonization and the perfect fusion with Spaniards and Chileans, they transform it into one of the most attractive cities of our region.
Here, we will walk inside the evergreen forest and appreciate the mixture of colors of the Petrohue River and its rapid falls. ENTRANCE FEE NOT INCLUDED USD10 APROX.
Once at the ski center, you have some free time for a short hike or just enjoy a hot chocolate cup with a tasty piece of fruit pie, also called kuchen by the German settlers.
By the end of the tour, we visit the city of Puerto Varas. In this place, you have the opportunity to have snack and visit downtown, craft shops or just take a deep breath in front of one of the biggest and more beautiful lakes in Chile.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
