Adventure Without Limits

In the heart of the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park is Petrohué, the destination that welcomes visitors seeking to explore the wonders of this national park. It is located on the shores of Lake Todos los Santos, 60 km from Puerto Varas in the Los Lagos Region. The geography of Petrohué is a visual delight that defies the limits of adventure.

A tour of multiple emotions

Petrohué is the starting point for an exciting journey that attracts adventurers and explorers of natural wonders. This small corner becomes the perfect setting for activities such as trekking, zip-lining, rock climbing, rappelling and kayaking. A destination without limits, where the virgin nature of the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park dazzles with the presence of imposing volcanoes, centennial forests, native fauna and magnificent waterfalls.

Visitors arriving at Petrohué have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a tour of multiple emotions, where trekking reveals the secrets of biodiversity and the wooded environment of larches, ferns and coihues. The adrenaline is unleashed with zip lines, rock climbing and rappelling that take explorers to rocky peaks with panoramic views of the lake and waterfalls that characterize the region. The journey culminates with a unique experience: paddling against the current of the Petrohué River in a kayak, navigating to the mouth of Lake Todos los Santos, fed by tributaries such as the Peulla River and others.

En términos de geomorfología, el parque se ubica en una región moldeada por la actividad volcánica, procesos tectónicos y glaciares. En la frontera con Argentina, el lago Todos los Santos deslumbra con sus aguas verde esmeralda rodeadas por tres icónicos volcanes: Osorno, Puntiagudo y Tronador que acompañan a los viajeros revelando la riqueza natural de frondosos bosques templados. Desde la laguna Cayutué con su bosque húmedo de galería hasta la diversidad de animales que incluye pumas, pudúes, zorros, monitos del monte y aves autóctonas, el parque es un santuario natural.

The Petrohué River, known for its waterfalls, meanders through this natural environment, offering a network of trails that go deep into the native forests. For recreational activities, options such as the Petrohué River Falls Trail, Los Enamorados, Laguna Verde and Velo de la Novia stand out. Each offers a unique experience, from short walks to more extensive routes with breathtaking views. Excursions lead to more remote places, such as the Paso Desolación Trail on the eastern slopes of the Osorno Volcano, which covers 12 km with panoramic views of the Tronador Volcano and Lake Todos los Santos.

Este rincón privilegiado y conservado no solo cautiva a los amantes de la naturaleza, sino también a aquellos que buscan una experiencia diferente para disfrutar de las vacaciones en el entorno mágico de la cordillera andina.
