Stop 1

The Petrohue Jumps are one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Los Lagos Region. They are located within the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, in the commune of Puerto Varas, very close to Lake Todos los Santos and with the imposing Osorno volcano as a backdrop.

What makes them so special is the natural spectacle that is generated when the Petrohue River passes through volcanic lava formations, creating cascades of crystal clear waters and an intense turquoise color. Trails and viewpoints are available to explore the surroundings, take pictures and enjoy the strength of the river in the middle of nature.

This place combines very well with other nearby destinations such as Ensenada, Lake All Saints or even a visit to the Osorno volcano

Stop 2

The Calbuco Volcano is one of the most imposing in the Los Lagos Region and is located a few kilometers from Puerto Varas and Ensenada. At 2,015 meters high, it stands out for its majesty and for being one of the most active volcanoes in Chile, remembered especially for its eruption in April 2015 that impacted the entire southern part of the country.

Surrounded by rivers, native forests and natural viewpoints, the Calbuco offers a unique landscape, ideal for photography and contemplation. Unlike the Osorno volcano, which can be visited in its ski centers and tourist trails, Calbuco fascinates by its wild character and by the energy that transmits its recent history.

Including a visit around the Calbuco Volcano within a private tour means offering passengers the chance to get to know a natural giant up close, learn about its geological importance and enjoy spectacular views in a quiet and exclusive atmosphere

Frutillar is one of the most charming destinations in the Los Lagos Region, known as the “city of music” for its cultural tradition and close relationship with art. On the shores of Lake Llanquihue, with the imposing Osorno volcano in the background, is the famous Teatro del Lago, an architectural and cultural icon of Chile, where concerts, plays and prestigious international events are held.

Walking through Frutillar is walking along its beautiful coastal promenade, enjoying its colorful German-style houses, florid gardens, cafes and pastries where traditional kuchen and artisan cakes stand out.
A private tour of Frutillar allows you to enjoy music, gastronomy and cultural heritage in a relaxed atmosphere, with time to tour the Lake Theatre, photograph the landscape and live the tranquility of this southern gem on the banks of the Llanquihue.

Stop 4

The Tour of Lake Llanquihue is one of the most complete and fascinating tours in southern Chile. It consists of bordering the second largest lake in the country, surrounded by stunning landscapes. Along the way you can appreciate the imposing volcanoes Osorno, Calbuco and Puntiagudo, as well as enjoying natural viewpoints, quiet beaches and a wide cultural and gastronomic offer.
Along the way you will visit places such as Puerto Varas, with its charm as a tourist town; Ensenada, gateway to the Petrohue Jumps and the Osorno volcano; Las Cascadas, with its hidden waterfalls; Frutillar, recognized for the Lake Theater and its German heritage; and Puerto Octay, a town full of history and traditional architecture.
