Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park: volcanoes, waterfalls and lakes

This unforgettable journey begins with your departure from your hotel in Puerto Montt or Puerto Varas, the charming ‘City of Roses’. The route first takes you along the idyllic Lake Llanquihue, which offers spectacular views of the majestic Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes. Your main destination is Chile’s oldest national park, the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. Here you’ll find the famous Petrohué Waterfalls, whose crystal-clear, turquoise waters cascade over millennia-old, dark lava formations in a breathtaking natural spectacle. The tour then continues along easy walking trails through an evergreen, unspoilt primeval forest. Whilst you enjoy the tranquillity of nature, you’ll always have the striking silhouette of the Osorno volcano in view. Finally, you’ll reach Lake Todos los Santos (Lago Todos los Santos), also known as the Emerald Lake due to its intensely vibrant colour. An optional, peaceful boat trip on this mountain-framed lake offers a unique perspective on the volcanic landscape and invites you to capture unforgettable postcard-worthy scenes on camera. This perfectly organised itinerary combines the magical tranquillity of Chile’s Lake District with the elemental power of its natural wonders, guaranteeing a profound and comfortable travel experience for nature lovers.
