Description
Your tour begins in the port and industrial city of
Puerto Montt. This city is also known as the "northern
door to Patagonia", because many trips through the south
of Chile and to Patagonia start here. The first settlers
came to Puerto Montt and neighboring areas from Germany
more than 150 years ago. Here we'll visit the main square,
the cathedral and the scenic lookout Manuel Montt, which
has a panoramic view of Reloncavi Bay and the city.
From there we'll visit the city of Puerto Varas. At
this time Puerto Varas is the most popular tourist center
in the south of Chile, with German-influenced architecture
and summer activities. It's located on the shore
of Lake Llanquihue, one of the largest natural lakes
in South America.
Next we'll follow the shoreline of Lake Llanquihue past
the foot of Osorno volcano to Vicente Perez Rosales
National Park, where we'll visit Todos los Santos Lake
and the Pertohue rapids. These rapids were formed when
the lava from volcanic eruptions blocked the river's
course.
Then we will continue our journey to the Laguna Verde
(Green Lagoon), where we will stop to take pictures.
Next stop we'll make in a restaurant on the shore of
Lake Llanquihue to have lunch. After it we begin our
return to Puerto Montt. Passengers may ride directly
to the port or remain at the Angelmo Handicraft Fair.
This market is famous for local handicrafts and fresh
seafood, and is a five minute walk from the port.
*In good weather there's an optional trip up the
slope of Osorno volcano to a ski base located 1300
meters above sea level. From there you'll have a panoramic
view of the whole region, including Calbuco volcano
and all of Lake Llanquihue. (Extra charge applies)
