Excursion Details
A day of breathtaking landscapes awaits you on this tour, which begins with a bus transfer to nearby Puerto Varas, also known as the City of Roses, located on the shores of Lake Llanquihue. Enjoy views of the snow-capped Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes as you head to Ensenada and then to Mount Osorno, which towers over the landscape at about 1,240 m. There is free time to take photos of the summit with its eternal glacial cover, Mount Calbuco, Lake Llanquihue, and the Pacific Ocean.
Alternatively, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate (not included) or take the cable car (at your own expense) to reach the Spring Station and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. As a final scenic highlight, the tour continues to the shores of Lake Todos los Santos, then along the Petrohué River to reach the Petrohué Waterfalls, where water gushes through crystallized lava into the lake below. After a lunch break, return to the ship.
