“El Solitario” is an old trail around the southeast face of the Osorno Volcano in Chile’s oldest national park, Vicente Pérez Rosales, founded in 1926. During our hike we will see the effect that thousands of years of volcanic activity has had on the site’s geomorphology.
We will hike through forest that grew back naturally (secondary forest) after an eruption and see trees of the Nothofagus species, such as the Coigüe, which is endemic to southern Chile and Argentina.
The trail is covered with ash from a recent eruption of the Calbuco Volcano in 2015. The forest eventually ends abruptly onto a clearing
where an old river once flowed and that was one of the primary places that lava descended during the last eruption of the Osorno Volcano in 1834 when this area was still completely uninhabited. The volcano has been dormant ever since.
The El Solitario Trail provides an introduction to southern Chile’s typical Valdivian forests as well as the geological processes that have taken place over a very long period of time.
Optional: After completing the trail, hikers can visit the Saltos de Petrohué, one of the area’s primary attractions.

This hike covers an old trail used by Chile’s original peoples as well as the Jesuits who came to evangelize the region. The “Jesuit’s Route” crosses the pampas on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains on the Argentine side.
This walk begins in a little-known sector of the park called La Picada, where Chile’s first mountain refuges were built in 1933 and where there was once a ski center on the volcano. It begins with a 40-minute ascent to reach the pass between the Osorno Volcano and the La Picada Hill. This spot provides an incredible panoramic view of the Todos Los Santos Lake and the peaks of the park’s primary volcanoes.
The view of the lake continues as the trail descends to the beach in the Petrohué sector. This hike provides a view of the peak of the Osorno Volcano, with its ice caves on the eastern side as well as signs of the volcanic and glacial processes that sculpted the unique geography of the southern Andes.
This is an ideal program for hiking and nature photography enthusiasts.

Travelling east along the Reloncaví Sound, we come to the first stretch of the famous Austral Highway, one of the most scenic roads in the world. We follow it to the entrance of the Alerce Andino National Park and enter either through the Correntoso or Lenca sectors where we will have beautiful views of volcanoes, valleys, and the Pacific Ocean.
This park was created to protect one of the last alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides) forests. This species of conifer tree was on the brink of extinction due to indiscriminate foresting in the 19 th and 20 th centuries because its wood is highly prized for building homes and ships. Alerces are considered of enormous
importance and thought to be the second oldest species on Earth, and there are some that are more than 3,000 years old. It s also grows to more than 40 meters in height, making it the tallest tree in the Southern Cone.
The biodiversity in the Alerce Andino National Park is quite unique and is home to many species, such as the pudú, the world’s smallest deer, a wild cat called a guiña, and marsupials called monitos del monte.
We will see more than 50 lagoons within the park and marvel at ancestral species that were alive before the time of Christ.

This hike will take us to different parts of the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. We will begin by taking a chairlift up the Osorno Volcano to a height of 1,670 meters above sea level, where we will see the impressive Lake Llanquihue, Chile’s second largest lake, as well as the peak of the Calbuco Volcano, and the Reloncaví Sound.
We have two options for our descent; we can hike down along the El Solitario Trail through secondary forests or we can visit the beautiful Laguna Verde and walk along its short interpretive trails. Next we stop for lunch, either at the hotel or in a spot hidden among nature
on the banks of the Petrohué River, and then continue on to our next destination, one of the region’s touristic icons, Saltos de Petrohué— small turquoise-colored falls formed by centuries of erosion from the Petrohué River flowing over solidified lava.
This beautiful spot also provides impressive views of the Osorno and Puntiagudo Volcanoes and the imposing 3,491-meter Mt. Tronador, the highest peak in the southern Andes. The journey ends in a sector called Petrohué, where the river ends and we can see the Todos los Santos Lake with its glittering emerald-colored waters, immersed in the Andes Mountains.

We begin this excursion by boating across the beautiful Todos los Santos Lake with its intense emerald-green color produced by fine glacial sediments from Mt. Tronador in the water.
The boat heads through the Cayutué Bay to the southernmost point on the lake to the Cayutué Cove (ensenada). We will hike along an old trail known as the Route of the Jesuits and cross the valley that divides the Sierra de Santo Domingo in half. We will hike southward on an easy trail surrounded by Valdivian forest to the beautiful Cayutué Lagoon in the middle of the valley, where we will stop for lunch while enjoying the beautiful view of the Puntiagudo Volcano.
We will then continue south, where the trail becomes the first section of the Vuriloche Pass, a historic route used by the indigenous Huilliche people on the Chilean side and the Poyas on the Argentine side, who engaged in constant exchange of species and products. Spanish expeditions later used the same path on their search for the mythical City of the Caesars that they thought they would find in this zone of the southern Andes.
There is evidence that the people of Monte Verde may have been the first to travel this trail, which would make it the oldest in all of the Americas.

Program duration: 4–5 hours

This program is ideal for history and culture lovers with an interest in learning more about the German colonization along the banks of Lake Llanquihue in the mid-19 th century. The day begins with a visit to the Antonio Felmer Museum in Nueva Braunau, nine kilometers west of Puerto Varas.
During this guided visit, the owner will explain little known details about the process of colonization in the area through the demonstration of objects related to art, architecture, agriculture, and music that will take us on a journey through time toward the German legacy.
The next stop is Frutillar, the historic city by the lake founded by German immigrants in 1856 and declared a typical zone in 2013. Here we will clearly see the influence of German heritage in the local buildings and customs. We will also visit the Theater by the Lake, which is considered one of South America’s most important cultural centers and the southernmost international theater in the world.
The theater is host to the annual Frutillar Music Weeks, a historic festival that invites musicians from around the world. While at the theater, visitors can also see art exhibits or enjoy a cup of coffee with a view of Mt. Tronador and the Osorno and Puntiagudo Volcanoes in the background.

We will continue along the western side of the lake to visit the emblematic city of Frutillar,
famous for its summer music festival. Here we will visit the German Museum to learn about the history of the colonization that began 160 years ago and that continues to have a strong influence in the area. Here visitors have the opportunity to taste the area’s typical dishes that blend German and Chilean cuisines.
The lake route continues around the Punta Larga Penninsula to the mouth of the Maullín River, the lake’s only outlet and that gives rise to one of Chile’s most important wetlands.

The day begins with a visit to one of the most important archaeological sites in the Americas —Monte Verde, just 35 kilometers northeast of the city of Puerto Montt, where local residents discovered evidence of ancient human occupation in 1977.
In 1997 the scientific community certified that the Monte Verde site was inhabited by humans 14,500 years ago, significantly predating the 12,900-year-old Clovis site in North America, making Monte Verde the oldest human settlement in the Americas.
The discovery disproved the theory that humans made their way southward through the Americas from the northern hemisphere and also opened many questions that are still unanswered.
A historian and Monte Verde expert will accompany us at the site, showing us where the
discoveries were made and sharing all the stories and current theories about this interesting and mysterious place.
Next we make a brief tour of the Lahuen Ñadi Natural Monument, a small, 200-hectare perfectly conserved natural oasis just 15 kilometers from Puerto Montt. This green nature sanctuary is home to a wide variety of native trees, such as the alerce—some more than 1,800 years old—as well as the coigüe, canelo, tepa, luma, arrayán, and tepú. It is also an excellent spot for bird watching. This site gives us an idea of what the local environment must have been like when the first inhabitants of Monte Verde arrived thousands of years ago.
