DESCRIPTION
Day 1 (-/-/D)
Your car will be waiting for you on arrival in Temuco Airport. After visiting
the Mapuche Indian market in the city, you drive to Villarrica, a small
town located on the shores of the Lake of the same name. Here you will
stay for the next three nights in Hostería De La Colina.
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/-/D)
An option today is a tour of the area during which you will visit the
beautiful lakes and rivers of the area. You will be able to walk through
cool, native woods to numerous 150-200 ft waterfalls as well as have an
opportunity for a relaxing soak in one of the area's famous hot springs.
Day 4 (B/-/D)
After breakfast you 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, you continue to Puerto
Fonck, located on the north shore of Lago Llanquihue, where you will stay
for the next three nights in Fundo Los Guindos.
Day 5 (B/L/D)
Following the eastern shore of the lake you drive to Villa Ensenada, passing
through the slopes of the Osorno Volcano, then turn off towards Petrohue
and the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. A short easy walk
leads you 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. You continue onwards to reach the shores of the
Esmeralda Lake. Afterwards enjoy a short walk around Laguna Verde in an
ancient forest before returning to Los Guindos.
Day 6 (B/L/D)
Today you will have enough time to visit the Puyehue National Park located
in an extraordinarily beautiful zone in the Lakes Region. The Park offers
a variety of activities that allow you to discover the natural wonders.
In Anticura there are many paths which take you through the forests to
observe waterfalls and the wildlife. Finally the Antillanca Sector is
where the ski center - of the same name - is located. There are many geological
and floral attractions and some marshland. Back to Los Guindos.
Day 7 (B/-/-)
Early in the morning depending on your timing, you visit Puerto Varas
before you head to the airport. Drop off your car and catch your flight
either to Santiago or Punta Arenas.
