Tour around Lake Llanquihue, visiting the National Park, Osorno volcano and picturesque German villages.
Overview of your Puerto Varas tour
Depart from your Puerto Varas or Puerto Montt hotel, airport or pier. Our excursion takes us around Lake Llanquihue. This is the third largest natural lake in South America and the second largest in Chile at 886,000 sq. and 450 meters deep. It is surrounded by several small towns and magnificent scenery, including Osorno and other volcanoes. We will stop to visit a number of them, depending on time, weather, and your interests. The choices include Puerto Varas, Green laggon and Burbuja areas at the Osorno Volcano, at the National Park, Las Cascadas villages, Puerto Octay, Frutillar, Llanquihue and Puerto Varas town. Having completed our loop around the lake, we now take the Pan-American Highway (the same highway that begins in Alaska in the USA and ends on the Island of Chiloé, some miles down the road), and return to your hotel, pier, or drop off at the airport. *This tour is priced for 4 travellers, but I can accommodate larger groups upon request. *
