Perfectly cone-shaped and snow-capped, Volcán Osorno is one of the most iconic sights in the Lake District. You can drive or hike up to its ski center for panoramic views over Lake Llanquihue, or take a short walk on the lava trails to experience its volcanic landscape up close. On clear days, it dominates the skyline like a postcard brought to life.
EnquireThis lush park is a haven for hikers and nature lovers. Home to millennia-old alerce trees — Chile’s version of the redwood — and a dense network of trails, waterfalls, and wildlife, Alerce Andino offers a serene contrast to the nearby volcanic terrain. The fresh air, birdsong, and green canopy create a feeling of timeless wilderness.
EnquireAt the northern tip of Chiloé Island, the penguin colonies near Ancud are a unique wildlife experience. A short boat ride takes you to see both Magellanic and Humboldt penguins nesting side by side — one of the few places in the world where that happens. It’s an unforgettable encounter in a coastal setting full of charm and marine life.
EnquireThe colorful capital of Chiloé Island, Castro is famous for its iconic palafitos (stilt houses), its UNESCO-listed wooden churches, and a vibrant local culture rooted in mythology, fishing, and strong community traditions. Wander through the artisan markets, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak up the laid-back rhythm of island life.

Turquoise waters rush over black volcanic rock in a dramatic contrast of color and texture. Easily accessible from Puerto Varas, it’s a must-see stop for photography, short walks, and the sheer beauty of southern Chilean nature.
