Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park
The oldest national park in Chile
The Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park holds the title of the oldest conservation unit in Chile. Its trails reveal the Petrohué Waterfalls, volcanic rock formations where water flows strongly through the humid forest, forming one of the most beautiful postcards in southern Chile.
Lake Todos los Santos allows you to sail surrounded by the Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes, while the Monte Tronador massif dominates the horizon and completes the visual spectacle. Century-old coigües and ulmos border the shore, adding greenery to this lake landscape.
