DESCRIPTION
Day 1 (-/-/D)
Reception by Erika on arrival in Temuco Airport. After visiting the Mapuche
Indian market in the city we drive to the scenic town of Pucón,
the main adventure destination in the Lakes & Volcanoes District,
approximately 75 minutes driving time from Temuco. Then we continue to
Caburga and stay for the next two nights in Landhaus San Sebastián,
located in a picturesque side valley of Pucon.
Day 2 (B/-/D)
Full day visiting the Huerquehue National Park where you will climb through
lush beech and araucaria forests to several pristine mountain lakes, each
of which is very different. Trails are shaded and bounded by old growth
forests of araucaria, mañio, coigue, raulí and tepa.
Day 3 (B/-/-)
After breakfast we drive south through the pastoral countryside, where
local Mapuche people have small farms, visiting the scenic Lago Calafquén.
After visiting Panguipulli, the city of the roses, we head to the Choshuenco
National Park and stay in the Magic Mountain Lodge, set in beautiful surroundings.
Day 4 (B/-/-)
Today in the morning we visit the Park which offers a variety of activities
that allow you to discover the natural wonders. Some different paths will
take you through the forests to observe the waterfalls of Huilo-Huilo.
Midday we take the ferry through the Andes Mountains to Argentina ( 1.5
hours) and drive down to San Martín de los Andes, a small Patagonian
city located on the shores of Lago Lacar.
Day 5 (B/-/-)
Today the road takes us to San Carlos de Bariloche. We will visit the
Nahuel Huapi National Park bordering the lake of the same name. The evening
will be free to visit the center of the city.
Day 6 (B/GT/D)
Check out during the morning. After a short visit in Villa Angostura we
cross the Andes Mountain Range returning to Chile. Then we continue to
Los Guindos Farm, located in Puerto Fonck on the north shore of Lake Llanquihue.
On the way we stop at the famous “Café Hexe” where
you will enjoy a typical “German tea”. The renovated guest
house, where you will stay for the next two days, is managed by Gloria
Weisser, descendant of German immigrants who arrived in Chile at the end
of the 19th century.
Day 7 (B/-/D)
Today we drive the eastern shore of the lake to Villa Ensenada passing
through the slopes of the Osorno Volcano. Then we turn off towards Petrohue
and the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. A short, easy walk
leads us to the famous waterfalls where there are opportunities for photos
of the icy cold clear waters which turn a fierce green as they cascade
over the volcanic lip. Then we continue onwards to reach the shores of
the Esmeralda Lake. Afterwards, if time permits, we will enjoy a short
walk around Laguna Verde in an ancient forest before returning to Los
Guindos
Day 8 (B/-/-)
Early in the morning, depending on timing, we will visit Puerto Varas
before we head to the airport to catch your flight either to Santiago
or Punta Arenas.
