Good, wish I had an extra half hour for the volcano given I did both chairlifts.

Javier and Javier were kind and attentive and made this a very nice trip for everyone,taking pictures and videos and explaining everything you need to know. You would have needed more time in all of the places, but this is what daytrips are- many great locations and beautiful places in a short amount of time. I definitely recommend this trip, it covers all the great spots and although time was of the essence, I didn't feel pushed around. Thank you again to the Javiers 😁

Full description

Explore the Chilean Lake District on this guided day tour to the Osorno volcano and Petrohué falls in the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. Climb the imposing volcano and enjoy panoramic views over the region. Walk through lush forest and admire the cascading turquoise waters at Petrohué.

After pickup in Puerto Montt, travel along the shore of lake Llanquihue to the conical Osorno volcano. Drive up through verdant forest with amazing views over the lake and the Calbuco volcano as you ascend Osorno. 

Reach the Ski and Mountain Center, located at 1,240 meters, where you can take photos of the stunning landscape views and look up to the glaciers at the volcano’s summit. Optionally, pause for a coffee and a snack at the cafe, or ride the chairlift to the glacier station.

Descend the volcano to the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. Enjoy a walk through the evergreen forest and along the Petrohué River to the falls. Watch the river water jump over great masses of lava from Osorno which have been polished and crystallized over centuries of erosion.

After some time taking pictures and admiring the sparkling river water, travel back to Puerto Montt to be dropped off.

Good day out with Javier. There is a bit of putting your hand in your pocket for various different tickets and lunch (most optional),but it’s not the end of the world. The Chilean Lake District was a wonderful experience with fresh crisp air. The highlight of the day was the trek on Osorno with stunning views at the top.
