Overflowing with verdant forests, steaming volcanoes, and turquoise rivers and lakes, the Lakes District is the Chilean version of Shangri-La.

The Lakes District is one of the best places in Chile to enjoy outdoor sports due to the wide variety of landscapes, like white water rafting on glacier-fed rivers, fly-fishing, hiking through ancient forests or up the side of volcanoes, rock climbing, kayaking, wildlife sightseeing, and much more.

This region is also one of the best places in Chile to see evidence of how German immigrants in the 1800s brought their traditions and customs to their new home, with German-esque houses in quaint towns, German food like kuchen and sausage, and plenty of good craft beer!
