Day 1
Petrohué Waterfalls and Sailing to Peulla
From Puerto Varas, you must get up early to make the most of the day. The first mandatory stop, before embarking, is the Petrohué Waterfalls. Take a quick visit to marvel at its turquoise waterfalls and the imposing view of the Osorno Volcano, the perfect postcard to start the adventure.
Then, head to the dock to board the catamaran that will take you through Todos los Santos Lake. This almost two-hour sailing is the heart of the trip; you will feel surrounded by the Osorno, Puntiagudo, and Tronador volcanoes as you sail through the emerald waters, a landscape that will leave you breathless.
You will arrive at Peulla, a small and remote ecological village where time seems to stand still. Here you will have time for lunch and enjoy the tranquility of the Andes before embarking on the return voyage. It will be a long and intense day, culminating with the return to Puerto Varas at sunset, closing a truly unforgettable experience.
