Then, head on toward the Petrohué Falls and Ensenada. After a brief rest, you will continue your trip to Puerto Fonck where you will stay in a beautiful wooden antique house reminiscent of colonial Germany.

Today you’ll explore a large and scenic section of the Vicente Perez Rosales park, the first park opened in Chile, in the Desolación Hike. After starting with a short uphill hike you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the volcanoes and lakes surrounding this section of the park. The Andes Mountains emerge at the horizon as you reach the emerald waters of Lago Todos Los Santos. After this six-hour hike, you’ll stop at the Petrohue Falls before returning to Fundo Los Guindos.

Your day starts with pedaling through an incredibly beautiful route along the shores of Lago Llanquihue from Los Guindos to Frutillar, where you’ll have a traditional Patagonia-style lamb roast. Then, transfer from Frutillar to Puerto Varas, where you’ll spend the night.

As your trip winds to an end, you’ll cross the incredible Estuary of Reloncaví en route back to Puerto Montt. You’ll say good-bye to your guide at the airport and return to Santiago in time for your connecting flight.
