Volcan Osorno

Snow-capped and shaped like a perfect cone, this striking volcano overlooks a beautiful lake.

Reviewed By lynnp760

We'd heard that it's often cloudy and many days you can't see the peak, but we saw it all day long. In fact, we drove up the winding road to the ski lift which we took all the way up to the snow line. So beautiful!

Lago Todos Los Santos

Sometimes called Lago Esmeralda because of its blue-green color, this strikingly beautiful glacial lake is bordered by steep cliffs.

Reviewed By Jrich897 - Paris, France

We arrived at the lake in time to get the ferry to Puella but the trip takes 6 hours (including 3 hours at Puella, a small town with nothing much to do once there). We managed to take a trip on a smaller boat as recommend by the many selling ferry tickets and had one and a half hours on the lake. We went out round the Isla Margarita and back. We were lucky to have fantastic weather with view of all the surrounding volcanoes and mountains and had a wonderful trip. Having saved several hours we then got stuck on the road back out of Petrohue for and hour and a half whilst workman laid a pipe but you can't have everything. A beautiful place in the sunshine...

Uncrowded, good facilities, easy hiking trail, interesting historical information. This national park makes for an excellent and relaxing day trip from Castro. Bring a picnic lunch and take your time strolling along the boardwalk.

Well organized, safe and clean, local fishermen turn their boats into tourist ships during summer time to go and see the penguins and some of the other local attractions. Worth every minute of the visit

Saltos del Petrohue

Reviewed By LaJarrie - Southampton, United Kingdom

Almost frogmarched here by the owners of the AirB&B where we were staying locally. Superb recommendation though. Weather was glorious with incredible views of the shimmering turquoise falls as they rush through the narrow passageways....With the imposing snow capped Osorno volcano looming menacingly behind. If you visit, make sure you take in the Senderos de los Enamorados, which adds on about 30 mins, but which is very pretty as you wander through the woodland and valley. Go early, it gets very busy, especially at weekends, and you will only have photos of other visitors rather than the stunning scenery.

Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales

Reviewed By RowenaB6 - Paeroa, New Zealand

Travelling up Volcan Osorno was wonderful on this midsummer day. From the top car park we took the chairlift up to the sideline. It was well worth the 18000 pesos each. Of course, while we were up there we walked across to the Red Crater and messed around in the snow at the top. We spent about 3 hours on the mountain all up. Highly recommended. We continued around the lake to the Saltos de Petrohue which have their own review.

Parque Tantauco

Reviewed By carmengloriag963

We spent two days at Tantauco Park, sleeping in very comfortable domes with private bathrooms and hot shower. Bathrooms were apart from the domes but quite near. They give you a box with dishes, cups, glasses and everything you need to have a meal. You have to take whatever you want to cook. Kitchen is neat and comfortable. Trekking routes are marvelous, specially the sunken forest. There are short and long trekkings. It's an incredible experience
