Petrohue waterfalls + Osorno Volcano + Todos Los Santos lake + Viewpoint “ Entre Volcanes” in Cochamó
Long day trip
Modality: landscape
It is a very complete excursion that brings together the most important points to visit in the area and a little more.
We visited the Petrohue waterfalls first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds. In Osorno volcano we take a short walk to find our intimacy with nature and in the beautiful viewpoint of Cochamo there are always very few visitors.

Start from Puerto Varas
About 50 kilometers away from Puerto Varas we find the area called Saltos de Petrohue.
Saltos de Petrohue
Arrive at Saltos de Petrohue. This sector is part of the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, a reserve of native temperate humid Valdivian forest, and will make you connect with the elements between dense forest and river with pure waterfalls.
Around the Osorno Volcano
After a hike in the middle of the forest to enjoy the magnificent waterfalls of Petrohue, at the foot of the Osorno Volcano, we will continue to Lake Todos los Santos. This lake, also known as Lake Esmeralda for the color of its waters. It is surrounded by low forests of medium altitude formed by numerous native trees such as Ulmo or Tepa, and the Osorno, Puntiagudo volcanoes and Mount Tronador. These forests remind us of the cold steppes or the young Canadian forests.
Not far from there, we will continue our visit on the road to the Osorno volcano, where we will observe the vegetation that will change as we climb, passing from dense and high forests, to a lower nature, mosses and lichens which perfectly colonize this humid environment. In spring, the skirt of the volcano is adorned with all the colors of the rainbow thanks to its flowering of native lupins and other flowers. We will have the opportunity to listen to the song of the birds of the area.
Hiking from village of Cochamó
At the end of the day, after visiting the Petrohué waterfalls, Todos Los Santos Lake and the Osorno Volcano, we will end up heading south at the village of Cochamó. From this village on the banks of the Reloncavi estuary, we will do a moderate difficulty hike of about 1 hour go and return to arrive at the panoramic point of view Entre Volcanes which, as its name suggests, gives us a breathtaking view of the estuary, and the Osorno and Yates volcanoes.
Back to Puerto Varas.
Finally, after a beautiful day full of visits, we will return to Puerto Varas.
