Stop At: Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales, Ruta 225 Región de los Lagos, Puerto Varas Chile
Today we will drive along a scenic road bordering the Llanquihue Lake which host one of the best scenic roads in the region. We will arrive to the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park oldest national park, founded in 1926. It covers an area of 251, 000 hectares (619, 970 acres), incorporating the park's center piece, Lago Todos los Santos, Saltos de Petrohué, and three commanding volcanoes: Osorno, Tronador and Puntiagudo.
We will continue the road up to the confiteria at about 4600 feet from where we will enjoy our first short walk of the day going around a secondary crater whose red and orange colors stand out from the natural landscape. From here you will get one of the nicest views of the Calbuco Volcano which sits right in front of us at about 25 kms/ 16 miles of distance, time for a coffee at the base camp resto and head to the starting point of solitario trail. Here we will join the natural trail which introduces us into the deep forest with lichens and ferns that slowly change the landscape into drier terrain and cross the lava flow of the last eruption in 1869 to finally arrive to the spectacular Petrohue River rapids that flows to the estuary of Reloncavi As part of the excursion not to be missed the the Emerald Lake. Drive back to your hotel. Arrive at 18 hs approx.

Maria is a terrific guide. We started at the Osorno ski resort and did a short loop trail that had wonderful views of the Chalbuco volcano which erupted in 2015. Because of the eruption, many trails in this area have sandy footing. The Solitario trail, 3.5 miles one way, is no exception. We walked through a lovely rainforest and then entered into more open spaces. Beware the biting flies in January and wear light colored clothing so you don’t attract them. We finished our day at Petrohue Falls and Emerald Lake.nigelc771

Maria made the whole visit easy. Super responsive to emails, making it easy to book. Prompt pickup. A great day explaining local history and geography as we did a hike up the main mountain/volcano and the surrounding areas. We were lucky to have a gorgeous clear day (but very windy!) in the morning, before showers in the afternoon. It was only 3 hikers plus her and the driver, so made for easy and quick going. Overall, Maria and Patagonia Trails were great. Highly recommend her services.prtraveller2014

Gracias María for un fenomenal día de senderismo al volcán Osorno. La ruta del Solitario fue excepcional. Los saltos de Petrohue ciertamente una maravilla! Gracias además por sus recomendaciones en mi viaje en la Patagonia chilena.
