Meeting Point
Hotel in Puerto Varas
Puerto Varas.
Departure from your hotel in Puerto Varas to the lovely Ralún very close to Cochamó. We will join a gravel road accessing the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. Here the horses and the baqueano will be waiting readily.
Horse Riding
After a briefing we will saddle up and begin the ride for 1.15 hours along a the trail which will be ascending gradually entering the template forest. Surrounded by a volcanic field which occupies a low-lying area between the southern end of Ensenada Cayutué, the southern extension of Lake Todos los Santos, and the northern end of the Estuario Reloncaví, where the Río Petrohué, which drains lake Todos los Santos, reaches the sea.
La Viguería and Volcán Cayutué are the principal cones. Formation of La Viguería cone and associated lava flows temporarily dammed the Río Petrohué about 3000 years ago, forming an ephemeral lake that was filled with deposits from Calbuco and Osorno volcanoes. Pyroclastic cones and lava flows of Volcán Cayutué filled the Ensenada de Cayutué depression, separating Lake Todos los Santos from Ralún Bay. Amazing geology and nothing to fear. At least for the last 3 centuries.... Reaching the laguna we can dismount, relax, while the guide and baqueano will be preparing a simple but delicious lunch on the grill. The return is the same way back.
