Osorno Volcano and Vicente Perez Rosales National Park

Approx. Time: 8 hours
Activity Level: Moderate

This area goes from the shore of Llanquihue Lake and proceeds past a series of picturesque points—Pescado River, Puerto Arturo, and Los Riscos—en route to the village of Ensenada. From here, the route turns inland to the famous Petrohué Falls, a succession of emerald green waterfalls. A walk along the falls allows for a close look at the enormous quantity of water flowing from Todos Los Santos Lake over the giant volcanic boulders. Continue on to the lake to enjoy a picnic lunch in view of the Andes and Osorno volcano. Afterwards, head toward the volcano and enter Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. Hike through the ancient coigüe forest to the Green Lagoon and on up the slope of the volcano. At about 3,000 feet, take a short break to observe both the Burbuja crater and the view of Petrohué Valley, the Andes, and Calbuco, the neighboring volcano. Walk another 1,500 feet for a close look at one of the volcano’s many glaciers. Enjoy the park at leisure before returning to Puerto Montt.
