Instead of going to the Torre del Paine like everybody else, we choose to explore this much less known parc, and it is an emerald of nature! Very good hiking paths, not crowded and so many things to explore!!!

Bosquepiedra

Reviewed By 155paulaw

This is a wonderful place. It's a private nature reserve where the owner will give you a tour of the special forest. You must ring first to arrange a time. It costs 10,000 pesos and is worth every penny. You learn so much about the forest and its wildlife. The owner has a wealth of knowledge about the trees, geology, flora and birds. You find it at km 15 on the road down to Cucao. (20 minutes from the Hostal Palafito- also highly recommended!)

Lago Llanquihue

This royal blue lake is Chile's largest and South America's fourth largest lake.

Reviewed By Voyagearoundtheworld - Berlin, Germany

We spent almost a day driving around the lake and discovered a stunningly beautiful part of chile. The view is constantly changing: mountains, volcanoes, lake, forests, green meadows, gently rolling hills and charming little towns like german influenced Frutillar or Puerto Octay. A must do when you are in the area.

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...

Church of San Francisco

Made entirely of wood, this striking church was designed by an Italian architect in a blend of Neo-Gothic and classic design.

Reviewed By RichardK938 - West Palm Beach, United States

This church is one of the UNESCO Chiloe churches and is really pretty. It has a bright yellow exterior and a fantastic wooden interior with a vaulted ceiling made using ship building techniques. It even takes the shape of an inverted ship's hull. Don't miss this church and as many other UNESCO churches as you can take in.

Teatro del Lago

Somos un escenario de clase mundial y una escuela artística abierta a la comunidad. Un ejemplo único de desarrollo, integración y descentralización.

Reviewed By good_ants - Santiago, Chile

The 'Teatro' in Frutillar Bajo is a stunningly beautiful building that expects all the attention it gets. If you happen to be anywhere in the area and can see a concert (or just peek around inside), do so. The acoustics truly are world class, and Bec and I were fortunate enough to experience a free symphony show; this can typically be something one of us would doze off during or lose interest in and quietly leave, but not here! Loved it.
