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!!!

Only 14km from Puerto Varas, this environment and biodiversity Conservation Park consists of 150 hectares of native forest, fields, sunken forest on Maullin River and a wild animal rehabilitation center. Please we need your Reservation to give you the schedule, price and timing for your visit. There, we offer several activities, all guided, such as trekking the forests, navigation through the sunken forest, fly-fishing, bird watching and a tour at the wild animal center. Your visit can last from one hour and a half to six hours, depending on the activities you choose to do. In the park we also have a "fogon" (room where we cook with fire and eat) where you can enjoy a great homemade lunch (advance reservation necessary) and a big room where a large number of people can find shelter for an event. Our principal goal is to protect our environment by making it known and giving each visitor a unique and personal experience with the environment. A big hug

My husband and I arrived in the morning sun to the beautiful setting of the main house on the river bank. We were met by Silvio and his staff who were most welcoming. They did not admit until we were eating the fantastic lunch of steak from the associated cattle farm that they had not been told by our tour operator that my husband was suffering with a foot injury and unable to walk well on uneven or sloping ground: Appearing with a wheeled walking frame the team quietly sorted a personalised tour for us. With much help and support given in an appropriate and friendly manner we both were able to relax in the small shallow metal boat and let Silvio guide us engineless through the beautiful sunken forest. His knowledge helped us understand the fragility of the Eco system within the world we had entered. We have travelled quite broadly but never experienced anything like this before The rescue and conservation areas were inspiring. The rescued Pumas, wild cat, owl, and birds all had their own stories of why they were there. The programme to support increasing the numbers of endangered Pudu deer was explained (and the 3 day old baby beautiful) They told us how they had 45 eggs given to them by the police rescued from the illegal egg collectors and had hand reared the parakeet chicks so that they might soon be released back to the wild. The star of the show was the baby starling in his hand made nest in the restaurant who happily chirped for more food having been rescued from the jaws of death almost at birth. Lunch - the most amazing steak we have had (from Silvio's cattle) cooked to perfection and serenaded by the family. We both wish Silvo, his family and team every success in preserving thus safe haven for the future. He deserves much support for the passion he clearly has for sustaining this exquisite environment

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

Ventisquero Yelcho

Reviewed By carlbenk - Carlisle, United States

This is a great and fairly easy hike up to a spectacular lookout to the hanging glacier (ventisquero). You can also continue on your own up the glacial valley. There are two nice waterfalls along the way. We were not able to get up to the base of the glacier because the river was raging through a narrow chasm. Perhaps you can when there is not so much snow and ice melt.
