It is the touristic capital of southern Chile. This city holds an unmistakable German influence, with its maximum exponent in the traditional architecture of wooden houses built with larch tiles. It is located on the shores of Lake Llanquihue, the second largest lake in the country.
The Petrohué Waterfalls are a series of waterfalls and rapids located in the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, in the Los Lagos region of Chile. They are one of the most popular natural attractions in the area and offer a visually stunning experience surrounded by lush nature.
The large hills with their evergreen forests surround the landscape for about two hours of sailing in beautiful emerald waters. From the deck of the catamaran, travelers can see some waterfalls and three snowy peaks: Mount Tronador and the volcanoes Osorno and Puntiagudo.
