Adventure from Lakes to Volcanoes
Renowned for its glacial lakes, towering volcanoes, and emerald-hued forests, Chile's Lake District emerges as a paradise of natural marvels, offering a plethora of activities amidst epic landscapes.
Chile’s Lake District is a captivating region of striking contrasts – alpine beauty, indigenous heritage, and boundless adventure. Stretching from the Pacific to the Andes, this diverse landscape is shaped by snow-capped volcanoes, deep blue lakes, and centuries of cultural history.
In the north, Pucón draws thrill-seekers with its dramatic setting beside Lake Villarrica and its active volcano. Hike in Huerquehue National Park, soak in natural hot springs, or summit the volcano for panoramic views. The spirit of the Mapuche people runs deep here, offering an enriching cultural dimension to the area’s natural splendour.
To the south, Puerto Montt opens the door to Chile’s glacial fjords, while nearby Puerto Varas blends Germanic charm with scenic grandeur. Set on Lake Llanquihue and framed by Osorno Volcano, it’s ideal for fly-fishing, climbing, or a visit to the thundering Petrohué Falls.
From here, head to the mysterious island of Chiloé – a world apart with its stilted palafitos, mythical tales, and UNESCO-listed churches. Explore lush forests, spot penguins in the wild, and take time to connect with a culture shaped by nature and folklore. With every turn, the Lake District offers something extraordinary – whether you're chasing adventure or uncovering stories of the past.
