Lake Todos los Santos
Sailing with volcanoes as a backdrop
Lake Todos los Santos stands out for the intense emerald color of its waters of glacial origin. It is immersed in the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, flanked by the imposing peaks of the Osorno, Puntiagudo, and Tronador volcanoes. Its surface acts as a natural mirror that reflects the lush vegetation of the surrounding slopes.
The navigation crosses the lake to Villa Peulla, a small border town located on the eastern shore. This destination offers accommodation services and various ecotourism options, such as hiking and horseback riding among ancient forests.
