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.
